A member of the notorious Checker gang, whose face is never shown, breaks out of prison and kills a farmer (John Agar), stealing his long barreled revolver.
The farmer’s identical twin brother (also Agar) seeks revenge, and the only clue he has is the revolver, part of a matched pair made for the sons by their father.
He meets up with Wild Willow (Marla English) – a Native American damsel in distress whom he saves, Stacy Doggett (Mike Connors, then going by the name “Touch”) an ex-member of the Checker gang, and old Wild West Show sharpshooter Windy Wagonwheels (Raymond Hatton).
Together they whittle down the gang which is led by the man with the stolen revolver.
There isn’t a lot of mystery, and it’s pretty clear who everyone is from the start, but the action and scenery are good and the characters are worth following.
