Real World ReferencesContinuity NitpicksA drunken patron orders everyone out of a saloon and they comply except for one man at the poker table -- Cheyenne Bodie. The drunk reveals to him that he plans on killing the sheriff as soon as he comes through the door. Before Cheyenne can act, Sheriff Wes Garth comes through the back way, overcomes the drunk and pushes him out the door.
Things are peaceful for about five seconds until Cheyenne and the other poker players disagree who won the last hand and get into a fight. When Cheyenne draws on them, they leave for the other saloon in town. The sheriff returns and encourages Bodie to not make trouble in his town.
Garth leaves to visit a woman he's infatuated with, Claire Du Pas. They have an argument over the nature of their relationship which is interrupted by the town busybody, Charlie Peabody. Charlie warns that there's trouble going down outside. Garth goes out to find Bodie checking his gun. His three former poker adversaries are coming down the street intent on getting their money back. Garth disarms Bodie, faces down the men himself, and winds up killing two of them: one was the privileged son of a wealthy rancher and the object of Claire's affection, and the other was his own deputy.
The day after, Cheyenne shows up at the sheriff's office to apologize for the trouble he caused. They are interrupted by John Clemens, the father of the one of the men the sheriff killed. Cheyenne watches as Garth explains to the grieving rancher why he had to kill his son. Impressed by Garth's talents as a lawman, Bodies asks to take the open deputy position. Garth agrees and hands him the bullet-ridden star he took from the body of the dead deputy the previous evening.
Later in the hotel, Cheyenne is introduced to Claire when she has trouble opening the door to her room. The two of them are clearly attracted to each other, but once Bodie finds out that Garth is pursuing her, he hesitates. Claire claims Garth has nothing that she wants, and Cheyenne says he'll return to her if the sheriff confirms what she says.
The next day, robbers hit the town bank. Cheyenne and Garth respond, each going a separate way in the pursuit. Garth overtakes and kills one robber and retrieves the stolen money, but instead of bringing it back to town he hides it. A meeting with the townspeople is grim, as the loss of $55,000 from the bank leaves many in the town destitute. Garth is unmoved by their concerns and claims that he's done all that he can.
