Chris Hale and Bill Hawks ride into the small town of Cinnabar for some minor supplies. Chris does not have fond memories of the town as an accident happens to him every time he visits. As Chris goes to the bank for cash, he passes a large gather at the stagecoach office where the Cinnabar Purity League is gathered to force Clementine Jones, a very pretty saloon girl, to leave town on the next stage. Chris asking about the bank reminds her she has over $17 in the bank she wants to withdraw before leaving. As the entire group moves to the bank they interrupt two men holding up the bank and Chris while a third man Willie Pettigrew holds the horses. They force the robbers to flee as Chris shoots at one but instead hits Clementine in the rear leaving her with a sore scratch. The robbers split up planning to meet in Saunders. Willie finds a boy Homer burying his father and left alone with a wagon headed for California. He forms a partnership with Homer. They head back through Cinnabar where they are forced to take on Clementine who can't ride the stage. Unknown to the others they were lovers in the past until Willie went to prison.
