Born on a Cherokee reservations, John Henry Sixkiller is known as the most cunning lawman in the West. He's in Ringgold, Wyoming, on the trail of Bart Skillern, a vicious murderer hes been carefully stalking for weeks. But before Sixkiller can strike, Skillern takes a job with the towns duly elected mayor, a politician so corrupt that the only way to get near him is by being even more corrupt. So Sixkiller takes a job as a hired gun, and sets out to destroy the mayors gang from inside out. Sixkillers carefully masked plan is just about to work when he discovers that, except for one beautiful, crusading newspaper woman, theres not a decent soul in Ringgold to take over from the power-crazed mayor.
