In the early 1860's, the Montana gold camps attracted thousands. But while many were miners and merchants, it was none-the-less a haven for gamblers, thieves, and the murderous cutthroats as well. The leader of these evil-doers was a soft-spoken, charming man named Henry Plummer. With a gift for organization and a personality that appealed to men and women alike, Plummer got himself elected Sheriff and organized the outlaws into a band called the "Innocents."
