Plot Overview
The train delivers over $56000 dollars, the army payroll, into the care of Marshal Crown until collected by the army. Crown places the money in the Cimarron City Bank guarded by his deputies.
Sam Darcy and his band of outlaws, Fargo Jones, Hank Martin , and The Kid (Bud Mahoney) plan to steal the payroll. The gang pulls off the heist, using The Kid as a decoy using dynamite and fool's gold. Crown arrests the kid suspecting he was part of the robbery. Chasing down the other three, Crown and his posse, to a horse ranch, the escape is foiled by Grimes a cagey old horse trader.
Darcy is a ruthless and is the only survivor from the ensuing gunfight surrendering and when he learns of Crown's 'fool's payroll' swears to kill Crown. Darcy is sent to territorial prison and 10 years hard labour.
Left with Bud Mahoney in the Cimarron jail with no evidence he was part of the gang, Crown arranges a job with Grimes on his horse ranch.
Darcy escapes to return to Cimarron to kill Crown and Grimes but to do so enlists The Kid.
