You can outnumber Caleb York ... but you can't outgun him.
Rancher George Cullen doesn't like the Santa Fe Railroad's plan to drive
a spur through his town. He intends to put up a fight--even though
everyone else in Trinidad, New Mexico, including his own daughter,
stands on the side of the railroad ...
Sheriff Caleb York rides out to the Bar-O to reason with his old friend.
But Cullen's ex-partner, Burt O'Malley, is back in town after a
twenty-year stint in the pen. And hired gun Alver Hollis, aka the
Preacherman, has shown up with two cronies, claiming they're in town for
a big poker game. With the whole town on the verge of a shootout, Caleb
keeps a firm grip on his Colt .44. Soon enough, he'll take dead aim to
keep the peace ...
