When criminal Nat Love learns that his nemesis Rufus Buck is about to be released from jail, he gathers his gang to track down Rufus and exact vengeance. His old love Stagecoach Mary, his right and left hand men, hot-tempered Bill Pickett and fast-drawing Jim Beckwourth, and a startling adversary-turned-ally are among those traveling with him in this assured, righteously new school Western. Rufus Buck has his own ruthless squad, which includes "Treacherous" Trudy Smith and Cherokee Bill, and they aren't afraid to lose.
