An encounter with wily Colonel Macon sends Donnegan on a life-or-death mission: the young gunfighter must take the colonel's daughter Lou to one of the wildest mining towns of the mountain desert to meet her fiance, Jack Landis. If Lou can't win back the allegiance of the man who reneged on a promise to share a mine's revenue with her father, Donnegan must kill him--if he can. For the mysterious Lord Nick and his crew of notorious gunslingers are protecting Jack.
