When Ranger Jim Hedges is handed a warrant to arrest banker Wayne Kravitz on fraud charges, what should be a routine arrest turns violent—Kravitz shoots Jim and flees with the stolen money, assuming a new identity at a remote homestead.

A rough-around-the-edges drifter arrives in Dingville with nothing but his wits and his six-shooters, and when a crooked hotel boss named Leo Luck tries to cheat him in a rigged fight, the former ranger decides to set things right—starting with reclaiming his winnings and standing up to the town's bullies. As the situation escalates and Luck's men come after him, the drifter realizes he's got the skills and the sand to clean up Dingville once and for all, and he's not leaving until the job is done.
