In the small town of Clifton, the young outcast and son of a prostitute, Scott, does the community's dirty work, sweeping the streets, keeping tidy the local brothel, the saloon, and the bank. With dreams of becoming a fearsome sharpshooter, Scott will find the opportunity of a lifetime when the ageing gunslinger, Frank Talby, rides into town, and before long, takes the eager apprentice under his wing. Little by little, the timid student will turn into a tough man and a deadly gunfighter, unbeknownst to him, that a strong tie from the past links Talby with the peaceful Clifton. Could it be an old score? Either way, inevitably, Scott will have to choose sides, and finally, toughen up.
