Having lost his horse in a bet, Pat Brennan hitches a ride with a stagecoach carrying newlyweds, Willard and Doretta Mims. At the next station the coach and its passengers fall into the hands of a trio of outlaws headed by a man named Usher. When Usher learns that Doretta is the daughter of a rich copper-mine owner, he decides to hold her for ransom. Tension build over the next 24 hours as Usher awaits a response to his demands and as a romantic attachment grows between Brennan and Doretta. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

When you lose a bet where you've staked your horse, you probably don't even realize what it could mean for you. A story about how one honorable man finds himself in a situation where he must save not only himself but also a woman. He's up against three ruffians, and he doesn't have much to defend himself against them. A western brilliantly crafted as an intimate drama. Moreover, everything is depicted in beautiful colors. A fairly gritty film, rougher than most classic westerns, like those with John Wayne. It's not driven by violence, but rather by the couple's hopeless situation.
