Tom Paxton is done for! The arrival of Tex and Kit Carson in El Paso, where the scoundrel has taken over a saloon and set up a gun-running ring with Madame De Thebe’s money, causes all of his shady deals to fail. By now defeated, the Queen of Spades’ ghost appears to him: deranged by madness, he dies among the flames that he himself set! A while later, the two pards clash with a handful of cowboys and when Carson arrives in Langtry, one of these cowherds takes revenge, accusing Carson of having stolen his horse. And, in town, justice is administered in a quite bizarre way by Judge Roy Bean!
