With their stagecoach destroyed but crammed with $100,000 in cash and gold coins, the passengers, Zack Thomas and Joe Jarrett, form an uneasy alliance after surviving the deadly ambush of the pitiless bandit, Matson, and his outlaws. But, in the bustling town of Galveston, things are bound to take a turn for the worse, as both rivals have set their sights on running the same dilapidated riverside casino of the alluring widow, Maxine Richter. Now, as Zack's statuesque girlfriend, Elya Carlson, begs him to stay out of trouble, the conniving banker, Harvey Burden, is planning his next move. Is Galveston big enough for both Joe and Zack?
