Apache Springs Sheriff Cotton Burke discovers that Bart Havens, a thieving banker he?d once run out of Texas for defrauding the citizenry, is behind an ingenious plot that could destroy the town. But first, the vengeful Havens wants to see Cotton burn -- and he?s bringing the guns to do it. Fortunately, Cotton has a plan. But he can?t do it alone -- and that?s where his deputy, Memphis Jack Stump, comes in.
