Ellen, an unknown female gunslinger rides into a small, dingy and
depressing prairie town with a secret as to her reason for showing up.
Shortly after her arrival, a local preacher, Cort, is thrown through the saloon
doors while townfolk are signing up for a gun competition. The pot is a huge
sum of money and the only rule: that you follow the rules of the man that set
up the contest, Herod. Herod is also the owner, leader, and "ruler" of the
town. Seems he's arranged this little gun-show-off so that the preacher
(who use to be an outlaw and rode with Herod) will have to fight again. Cort
refuses to ever use a gun to kill again and Herod, acknowledging Cort as one
of the best, is determined to alter this line of thinking ... even if it gets
someone killed ...
