Driftwood's been in the saloon regaling all of the cow pokes with tales of his marksmanship - especially with his trusty ol' Winchester 73. Dutch Henry Brown figures he's heard enough and challenges Driftwood to a marksmanship contest - winner take all.
They go outside, and with the drunks lined up behind them, take turns shootin' at a steel plate.
Driftwood proves a better shot - believe it or not! - but Dutch is a sore loser and decides to up the odds in his favor.
Driftwood'll have to shoot his way out of town if he wants to keep his '73 and his life.
