His guns were loaded for one town... one man... one roaring moment of revenge!
Wild Bill Elliot plays gambler Frank Graham, who heads to Kansas in search of his father's murderer. This being 1864, the local military presence is more preoccupied with keeping Southern sympathizers out of the state to worry about Graham's problems. Thus, our hero undertakes the task of exposing the killer himself.
In 1864, northern Kansas was being terrorized by southern sympathizers known as Copperheads, and gambler Frank Graham goes to Junction City seeking the killer or killers of his father. He gets little help from Union Army officers Colonel Barnes or Captain Ramsey, but gets a job at the freight line co-owned by Jane Dudley and his late father. Jane tells him his father was stabbed in a quarrel over counterfeit money given to him for his freight interests. Frank learns that Hardy, a printer; Temple, a store owner; Perry, a peddler; Greeley, a gambler, and Spain, a jeweler, are Copperheads and one of them murdered his father.
