Gambler and saloonkeeper, Big Keel Roberts, "owns" a lively, lucrative Arizona town. The "fastest-Cane-in-the-West," Bat Masterson comes to town on behalf of a friend - also a saloonkeeper -- whom Big Keel is crushing. Things get rougher and rougher between Bat and Big Keel until the latter suggests they solve the problem by a hand of show down poker. This story - a matter of historic legend - has come down to us from the 1870's with two different endings - and we see them both.
