Will Tenneray and Abe Cross are
two famous gunfighters who are
getting old and need Money.
Cross tried his luck at gold prospecting but failed.
Tenneray works at the local saloon where he
capitalises on his past fame to
"sucker fools into
buying drinks".
The Town expects them to
become enemies and kill each
other in A Gunfight but the two
aging gunfighters start
liking one another.
Desperate for Money,
Tenneray suggests to Cross to
put on a show for the townsfolk
and fight in an arena for money.
The proceeds from
the ticket-sales would
go to The Winner of
The Gunfight.
Both men like the idea of a paid
show but hate the possibility of
one of them killing The Other.
