In Virginia City, Edge encounters a nervous magician named Willard, whose magic show attracts his attention. Deciding to stop, Edge gets caught between two drunken cowhands in the middle of a shootout. Edge saves a woman's life, becomes the town hero and good buddies with Billings, owner of the Four aces.
But Edge doesn't know the history of Billings, an outlaw with a string of henchmen in his service, who killed Willard's father ten years before. Abbie, Willard's beautiful young sister, tries to seduce Edge and win him over to her brother's cause - to wipe out Billings. Indifferent to Abbie and to her brother's hatred, Edge, nevertheless, is forced to take a stand - and to play his deadly hand.
