Outlaw Wes Cavanaugh knows that crime doesn't always pay, at least not much. That's why he and his partner, Mose, are willing to pay Jimmy Stock for information on a job that's guaranteed to pay off big.

It requires a straight shooter who can hit targets from a long distance away, and in the outlaw business, even a straight shooter can't be trusted.
