Jace Coppersmith, a marshal in a Colorado Territory town, makes the tough decision to hand in his badge and leave his fiancee to help a friend, Travis Van Horn, in Kansas. Van Horn, who trained Coppersmith in the ways of the bounty hunter, is being forced to commit crimes by an outlaw who has abducted Van Horn's five-year-old daughter, a child he has never really known. Coppersmith enlists the help of Van Horn's brother in the search for the missing child, but the search and its aftermath spawn a feud between the two old friends that can only be solved with gunfire.
