When a beautiful lady doctor asks Clint to help her keep her grandfather lawman from getting killed, he can hardly refuse. He finds himself impersonating an outlaw to infiltrate a gang and prove to the old lawman that he's past his prime. But while he's trying to keep the man from being killed, he finds himself on the end of a lot of guns—a place the Gunsmith unfortunately finds very familiar.
