Gambler Jason Sweet wins a flock of sheep in a poker game and proceeds to take them by train into the middle of cattle country.

When Bedford finds himself losing their battle for domination, despite initially having the whole town behind him, he sends for professional gunman Chocktaw Neal.

Dell and Milt Masters are able to disarm them, and Chocktaw, suddenly aware he is alone, panics and draws on Sweet but loses and dies.
