En route to Bisbee, the stagecoach comes across a group of armed bandits who block its path. The tension escalates as it becomes clear that these thieves intend to rob the valuable gold shipment onboard.

Nearby, small-time rancher Dan Evans and his two sons witness the unfolding chaos from a ridge. Despite their close proximity, Dan hesitates, knowing that intervening could put his family at risk.

The bandit leader, Ben Wade, confronts Mr. Butterfield, the owner of the stage line, demanding that he return the slain driver’s body for burial. Wade's chilling demeanor underscores his authority and malice.
