It's 1870 in the town of Dead Man, Kansas, USA. There's a big crowd whoopin' it up in the Dead Man's Saloon. The clock on the wall shows high noon - but then, it always does. All at once, word spreads that there's going to be a shootout on Main Street. The crowd rushes outside to watch, but the street is deserted. Suddenly, two shots ring out from behind them, inside the saloon.
When the crowd hurries back in, they find the body of Deputy Drinkwater, shot through the heart. Somebody must have stayed behind to do the evil deed. Was it One-Eyed Pete, the black-hatted outlaw? Or Patty Petticoat, the saloon dancer with the mysterious past? Or Waylin Straum, the singing cowpuncher?
