Cole Clayborne has been tricked into accepting a badge and the title of
U.S. Marshal by Sheriff Marshall Ryan. He would refuse the badge if he
could, but the Blackwater Gang is up to no good and Cole feels
compelled to help. Sheriff Ryan has been chasing the gang for two
years--ever since they murdered his wife and daughter during a bank
robbery--and he needs Cole to help him solve the case. When the
Rockford Falls bank is robbed, only one witness is left alive.
