Morgan Elliott is a professional gambler in the cowtown gambling halls along the Arkansas River. Playing poker in Millville, he finds himself accused of a triple-murder. He's thrown into jail. Hooded vigilantes try unsuccessfully to hang him. Morg vows revenge. He gets help from Della Rose, an ambitious prostitute--and fiery activist newspaper reporter, Elsie Crittenden. The foil is Cyrus Meagher. He owns the town. He creates fear with hooded vigilantes. Help to him are his two sons, Bood and Tom, hell-raisers. Cyrus has kept formal law enforcement out of the town. He demands protection money from the townspeople. Morgan Elliott gets into the middle of all this. With his Colt 44, he brings an end the reign of terror.
