A killer named Cain is released from prison after 18 years and wants to settle down as a rancher without ever having to touch a gun again. But no one will give him a job, and people are after him for his earlier crimes. He finally takes an offer from showman Ruffalo to perform as Killer Cain in his traveling shooting show. However, after 18 years without practice, Cain is not as good as he once was with a gun. He tries to find redemption and peace when he falls in love and eventually marries Monica Alton, an artist from the east who came out west to paint. Yet Cain’s reputation continues to dog him; Luke Santee tries to settle an old score, while Billy Valence, a young rival sharpshooter (with mental issues) in Ruffalo’s show, is looking to build his reputation by killing Cain. Billy, struggling against the comparisons to Cain, endures low pay and belittling by Ruffalo, and then snaps and shoots the unarmed Ruffalo and steals the show’s profits. Billy rides out to a deserted town, and as he admires the stolen money, Santee enters and says he could use the money. Billy invites him to take the money, draws his gun and attempts to fire multiple times having forgotten to reload. Santee draws his gun and shoots Billy, who begs for his life, with Santee shooting him a second time, killing him.
