Gigolo con-man Latigo Smith needs to get something off his chest - the tattooed name of his most recent ex-fiance. But while he is waiting for the local doctor to sober up and perform the operatio, Smith overhears that local mining baron Taylor Barton is looking to shut down his mining competition by hiring the notorious 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. Bank roll in hand, he plans to head for the hills... until he falls for Barton's pistol-packin' daughter, patience. But when the real Swifty shows 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 might just work...if it doesn't blow up the entire town.
