Nursing his wounded pride, Freddy Baker wants to make Tex pay, and his father, a rich ranchero, won’t allow his family’s toes to be tread on in the fief of Silver Bell! The four pards, supported by Sheriff Ross, get rid of the gunslingers who’d been given the task of settling the account with them. Tex, however, is unexpectedly defeated and wounded in a duel by Ruby Scott, a vile half-breed who uses a trick holster! But even he, winner of the first round through trickery, ends up in a pine coffin at the striking of the second! The curtain falls completely since Scott’s squaw kills the young Freddy and Baker senior kills himself.
