In a Mexico wracked by political unrest, Cheyenne tangles with revolutionaries, a con man and a blonde pickpocket.

Marshal Frank Moxon saves Cheyenne's life.

Cheyenne rides into Stagge City (pop. 407) and is promptly arrested on trumped-up vagrant charges. After a "trial" lasting less then a minute, he's sentenced to 90 days hard-labor at the nearby silver mine - owned by Stagge.

Cheyenne is suspected of being a member of the Ellwood gang.
