Gunless

A hardened American gunfighter nicknamed the Montana Kid enters a quiet frontier town near the Canadian Rockies, carrying a heavy bounty on his head. The locals are wary of his brutal code, but he keeps to his path as he moves toward the general store.

After being helped off his horse by Adell Kwon, he goes to the town general store to stake his claim. When he leaves, he discovers his horse is missing and immediately accuses Jack Smith, the blacksmith, of stealing it—though Jack had been merely replacing the horse's damaged shoes. The tense moment sets up a showdown that will test his code and his stay in town.

Sean challenges Jack to a duel, but the Montana Kid cannot shoot an unarmed man due to his code. Jack is unarmed, so the duel cannot proceed as planned, heightening the tension between the two men. The standoff foreshadows a larger conflict lurking in the town.

Jane Taylor offers to give Sean her broken pistol if he fixes it and passes it to Jack, in exchange for building her a windmill. Sean accompanies her and stays in a sod house, switching between windmill construction and gun repair. Over the next few days, he begins to feel more for Jane and to befriend the wary townspeople.

As the windmill rises, Sean's bond with Jane deepens and he begins to understand the town’s rhythm beyond his own code. He also befriends several townsfolk, who start to see the man behind the bounty. The community slowly opens up to him as he works.

A group of American bounty hunters crosses into Canada and heads for the town to collect the price on Sean's head. Their arrival injects danger and pressure into the close-knit community, threatening the fragile peace that has begun to form. The town braces for a confrontation.

On the day of the duel, Sean deliberately aims to miss Jack, signaling that he may be ready to stand for a cause greater than personal revenge. When Jack pulls the trigger, the pistol jams, and Sean wrestles the weapon back to inspect it before unintentionally firing. The ricochet hits Jack in the left buttock, and Dr. Angus Schiffron removes the fragment; the two men declare themselves even and prepare to ride out of town.

The bounty hunters ride into town and threaten the locals to hand over Sean. The townspeople raise rifles and shotguns in a united show of resistance. Sean returns and tells the bounty hunter leader he will go with them only if Ben agrees to leave everyone else alone.

Resident Larry detonates dynamite under a stump on his farmhouse, creating a distraction that sparks a final gunfight. The blast buys time for the townsfolk to mount an organized defense and heightens the sense of imminent danger. The staged explosion shifts the balance of power in the standoff.

Sean and the townsfolk prevail, taking out Ben Cutler's crew without killing any of them. The North-West Mounted Police ride in to reinforce the town and rout the remaining bounty hunters. Peace is temporarily restored as the town proves its strength.

With debts settled and a future with Jane in sight, Sean decides to remain in town. He commits to protecting the people who stood up for him and building a life beyond the blood-soaked code he once followed. The couple's bond marks a new beginning in the Canadian town.
