Synopsis

Bud Massadey, returning from the civil war, comes across a slaughtered army troop carrying an order to the bank of Wagon City to hand over $150,000 for army wages. After running into trouble with the corrupt citizens of the town, Bud decides to take the money for himself. He joins with a local gang of outlaws, and dressed in the dead soldiers uniforms, they relieve the bank of its cash. Things go awry however, as Carson, the gang leader turns out to be a crazed killer and after being left beaten and unconscious by the gang, Bud and his new friend Slim are found by another passing army unit and taken in as one of their own. Now posing as soldiers, our heroes opportunities for escape become complicated by a voluptuous red head and the bad penny Carson, turning up again with the bank's money and a tribe of unhappy Indians on his tail. As danger builds, Bud feels an ever stronger inclination to stick around and do the honourable thing.
