Latigo Smith (Garner), a gambler and confidence man, is traveling by train in frontier-era Colorado with the rich and powerful Goldie (Marie Windsor). Goldie is besotted with Latigo and wants desperately to marry him, a fate that he wants no part of. He manages to slip off the train at Purgatory, a jerkwater mining town. Assessing the situation, he discovers that two rival companies of miners, led by Taylor Barton (Harry Morgan) and Colonel Ames (John Dehner), are racing each other to find a "mother lode" of gold buried somewhere nearby. Massive dynamite blasts periodically rock the town to its foundations, creating or embellishing various moments of comic relief throughout the film.

Il assiste écœuré à la montée en puissance de Tavernier dit le Mandarin, implanté dans l'immobilier depuis son retour d'Indochine. Ce dernier est un fasciste doublé d'un truand. Il commence une carrière politique locale et en sous main, il développe le racket et le trafic de drogue, sans pour autant être inquiété car il ne se mouille pas directement et dispose d'appuis. Ses hommes de mains, dirigés par Beausourire, exercent des pressions sur Dassa, le propriétaire d'une boîte, afin que celui-ci accepte d'ouvrir son établissement à la vente de drogue. Dassa est agressé une première fois et son ami Dan Rover lui offre de l'aider. Dassa ne craint pas les pressions du Mandarin qu'il sous-estime. Quand Dassa est exécuté, son ami Dan se reproche de n'avoir pas su le convaincre. Hélène, la sœur de Roger Dassa, arrive de Londres. Elle refuse de rencontrer Dan, car elle l'accuse d'être le responsable des ennuis de son frère.
