On the day of his wedding to a peace-abiding Quaker girl, the marshal of a small town prepares for the peaceful, civilian life until word comes down that four outlaws are arriving that day on the noon train to seek revenge for things past. Thrown into the conflict of staying to fight or leaving his post as was planned, the marshal decides to confront them to the dismay of his new bride. But, when he can't corral any help from any of the townsfolk who were his supposed firends, he must face the four alone.
