The Wild West is about to get a whole lot wilder for cow-hand Leo Postlewaite. Falling in love with Imogen, the boss’s daughter, is just the start of things. Trouble begins to follow him around, like a hungry dog. Leo is exiled from his home and rides into Denton, where he gets into a shoot-out with the outlaw Ignacio McKenna. When McKenna escapes from custody he rides back to Leo's old haunts and terrorises his adopted family. Things then go from bad to worse when Imogen is abducted. Leo has no choice but to ride into the lion's den and face down his enemy All Guns Blazing.
