В первой половине Джинглс (Энди Дивайн) обвиняется в убийстве, которое, как выясняет Дикий Билл Хикок (Гай Мэдисон), является частью заговора с целью получить контроль над ценной собственностью шахты.

Всё дело в том, что публика просто не ожидала такого жёсткого реализма от Голливуда. Со временем картина была признана одним из самых великих драматических произведений в истории кинематографа.
