In 1858 Jason Steele is working cattle in northern New Mexico Territory when he is ambushed by two hired guns. He discovers they ride for a powerful Spanish Don who is seeking revenge for his brother's death in the recent War. Forced off his range and on the run from a deadly sharpshooter, Steele has a streak of luck and stumbles across a legendary gold mine. He can now recruit his own force to fight the Don, but how can he draw the ruthless Spaniard away from his fortress-like ranch? Steele gambles his gold mine to lure the Don into a trap and as the two forces gather, the Territory braces for a bloodbath.
