Gigolo con-man Latigo Smith needs to get something off his chest - the tatooed name of this most recent ex-fiancee'. But while he's waiting for the local doctor to sober up and perform the operation, Smith overhears that local mining baron Taylor Barton is looking to shut down his mining competition by hiring the motorious gunman, Swifty Morgan. Seizing the opportunity for an easy con, Smith passes off a reprobate cow-hand as the dreaded Swifty, and pockets the cash. Bankroll in hand, he plans to head for the hills - until he falls for Barton's pistol-packing daughter, Patience. But when the real Swifty show up looking for blood, Smith comes up with an outrageous scheme to save his hide, stop the mining feud and win over Patience - and it migh just work, if it doesn't blow up the entire town.
