Teenaged fugitive William Bonney is given a second chance when a kindhearted ranch owner, John Tunstall, offers him a job.

But when his new employer is killed in cold blood, Bonney reverts to his criminal ways and vows to seek vengeance. Enraged and once again alone, Bonney faces off with the men who gunned down Tunstall and the bullets begin to fly.
