Young Joan Randle and her fiancé Jim Cleve are traveling through the Idaho wilderness in the 1860s when they are attacked by the infamous band of outlaws, the "Black Legion," led by the charismatic and ruthless Jack Kells ("Gulch"). Kells kills Jim's companion, wounds Jim, and kidnaps Joan, planning to keep her for himself.
Jim, badly wounded, survives and, driven by jealousy and revenge, joins the gang himself under an assumed name to be close to Joan. He becomes the fastest gunfighter in the frontier camp, which arouses Kells' admiration but also dangerous suspicion. At the Alder Creek gold camp, full of desperate men and murderers, the three main characters are entangled in a deadly love-revenge triangle.
Kells changes under Joan's influence - from a cold-blooded villain to a man struggling with his conscience. As the federal army begins to close in on the gang, Kells decides to sacrifice himself to save Joan and Jim. In a final shootout on a snow-covered pass, Kells dies covering their escape.
