A blizzard forces a St. Louis-bound stagecoach to take shelter at the McCain ranch for the night. Among the passengers is Christopher Rolf, a reluctant gunfighter traveling under an assumed name. Vince Medford, a traveling salesman and perpetual drunk suspects Rolf is carrying money from a recent robbery and plots to turn it in for the reward. Rolf is befriended by the McCains and by Tess, a beautiful woman trying to find a home.
