Quelques années après la guerre de Sécession, en Arizona, Jennifer Ballard voyage de la Géorgie à la Californie à bord d'une diligence dans le but de retrouver son fiancé Ben Warren. Parmi les voyageurs, se trouvent un certain Hamilton, en fait le célèbre hors-la-loi Frank Slayton, un ex-Confédéré, et son complice Jess Burgess. La voiture est escortée par des soldats car elle transporte aussi la solde. Ils s'arrêtent pour la nuit dans une petite ville, l'escorte se rendant au fort voisin pour être remplacée. Ben, impatient de retrouver sa fiancée, est déjà là. Slayton, attiré par Jennifer, est ennuyé par l'arrivée de Ben, mais les invite néanmoins à dîner. Lorsque la conversation vient à porter sur la guerre, Ben, lui aussi un ancien Confédéré, déclare préférer désormais les compromis et la paix. Le lendemain matin, la diligence repart, mais les soldats qui l'escortent sont en fait des hommes de Slayton. En plein milieu du désert, ils arrêtent la voiture et tuent le conducteur. Slayton dévoile alors sa véritable identité et, lorsque Ben tente de s'interposer, lui tire dessus, le laissant pour mort. Les hors-la-loi partent alors avec l'argent et emmènent Jennifer avec eux. Plus tard, après que Jess a mis en doute la nécessité d'emmener Jennifer, Slayton le fait ligoter et le laisse en plein soleil avant de partir. Pendant ce temps, Ben a repris ses esprits et, après avoir retrouvé un des chevaux de l'attelage, suit la piste des bandits jusqu'à leur cachette, où il trouve Jess, inconscient. Il le ranime et apprend que le gang est en route pour leur cachette au Mexique. Ils partent à leur poursuite, bientôt rejoints par Johash, un Indien dont la sœur est morte à cause de Slayton.
