The story

Choya, a gunfighter on the run, is caught by cowboys Leffingwell and Tattoo in the mountains. They force him to participate in a scheme to bilk a rich rancher named Lavery. The plan requires a tattoo on Choya's shoulder, but as soon as Tattoo creates one, Leffingwell shoots him in the back.
