When a gun-toting drifter known as the Stranger (Jim Davis) comes across a dying marshal, he decides to take up the identity of the late lawman. Settling down in a small town, the Stranger uses his new-found authority to challenge Shad Donaphin (Lee Van Cleef), the violent and unruly son of a shady cattle baron. Intent on staying true to his adopted persona, the Stranger even strikes up a relationship with Murdock (Arleen Whelan), a beautiful local lady.
