Plot

Jody Deakes joins up with his father after many years, just to discover that the man is part of an outlaw gang on the run from a relentless bounty hunter named Santee. Soon after Santee catches up to the gang, Jody's father is killed.

Jody follows Santee in hopes of taking vengeance for his father's death. Instead, however, Jody discovers that Santee is a good and loving man, tormented by the death of his young son at the hands of another outlaw gang. Santee and his wife take Jody in, and a father and son relationship begins to grow. Then the gang that shot Santee's son shows up.

The Banner gang arrives and kills the sheriff and robs the bank, killing several other citizens. Jody wants to pursue the gang but Santee disagrees. He has decided to not leave the Three Arrows unless it is on ranch business. Jody goes after the gang alone. Santee leaves to catch up to Jody. They meet and head for the Mecca near the border where Santee believes the gang is located.

At the Mecca, Santee sees three of the gang members in the bar. Jody climbs to the second floor, enters a room and kills one gang member as he reached for his gun. Santee gets most of the gang members. Banner shoots at the same time as Sam and Jody. A wagon is seen being returned to the ranch, carrying a coffin. As it arrives at the house, it’s being driven by Sam and Jody has been killed.
