Jess is shot, robbed of five thousand dollars, and left for dead. If that wasn't bad enough, his unique pistol and holster is missing, taken by the four men who ambushed him. Mattie Smith, a woman with troubles of her own, finds Jess and nurses him back to health. Jess learns that Mattie is fighting to keep her ranch and the owner of the Double S ranch, Tom Stewart, is trying to drive Mattie out. Mattie pleads with Jess to stay and help her fight off Stewart and his hired guns, but Jess has to find the men who ambushed him and get his pistol and holster back. Jess goes on the hunt for the four men who left him for dead, but before he can get the last one, he gets a message that Mattie's ranch has been attacked by night riders and all but three of her men have been killed. Jess returns to Henderson, Texas, to find Mattie and her three men holed up in the hotel and Tom Stewart on the verge of taking Mattie's ranch. Stewart starts a war with Jess that he can't finish, but Stewart doesn't know that yet. Before the lead stops flying, a lot of men will die, and Jess is determined that he will be the last man standing when it's over with.
