The film's plot centres around Howard Nightingale (Kirk Douglas), a U.S. marshal who leads an elite posse to track down and capture the infamous bank robber Jack Strawhorn (Bruce Dern), in an effort to further his political career when running for senator. Nightingale is successful, however, Strawhorn throws a spanner in the works when he kidnaps Nightingale and holds him hostage. Before long he demands a ransom of $40,000 from the posse for Nightingale's safe return—the same amount of money that the posse burned when tracking Strawhorn down and killing his gang. In order to raise the money, Nightingale's posse have to rob the town of all its money, thus turning the public against Nightingale.
