Description: In 1882, in the town of Old Stump, Arizona, a timid sheep farmer named Albert Stark ends his relationship with his girlfriend Louise after refusing to participate in a gunfight. Convinced that the frontier has nothing left to offer him, Albert decides to move to San Francisco. Meanwhile, the notorious outlaw Clinch Leatherwood robs and kills an old prospector for a gold nugget. He instructs his right-hand man Lewis to escort his wife Anna to Old Stump to lay low while he continues his criminal activities.
Lewis and Anna arrive in Old Stump posing as siblings planning to start a farm, but Lewis is arrested after shooting the Pastor’s son in a saloon. During the chaos, Albert saves Anna from being injured by other patrons, and the two develop a close friendship. They attend a county fair where Louise’s new boyfriend, the arrogant Foy, challenges Albert to a shooting contest. Albert loses, but Anna steps in and defeats Foy. Humiliated, Albert impulsively challenges Foy to a duel in a week’s time to win back Louise. Anna spends the following week teaching Albert how to shoot.
At a barn dance the night before the duel, Anna slips a strong laxative into Foy’s drink. After leaving the dance, Albert and Anna share a kiss before going home. However, Lewis, who has broken out of jail and killed the sheriff, witnesses the kiss and reports it to Clinch. On the day of the duel, Foy arrives late and suffers from the effects of the laxative. Realizing Louise is not worth fighting for, Albert forfeits the duel again. He retreats to the saloon, but Clinch confronts him, demanding to know who kissed his wife. Clinch reveals Anna’s true identity as his wife and threatens to kill more people unless Anna’s lover duels him at noon the next day.
