Handlung
Auf der Flucht vor der heiratswütigen Goldie strandet der harmlose Schürzenjäger und Glücksspieler Latigo Smith im Goldgräberstädtchen Purgatory. Fälschlicherweise hält man ihn hier für den gefürchteten Revolverhelden Swifty Morgan, was Latigo schlitzohrig ausnutzt, nachdem er beim Roulette seinen letzten Pfennig verspielt: Er nimmt den Auftrag und die 5000 Dollar Honorar von Goldminenbesitzer Ames an, der ihn bittet, seinen Rivalen Taylor Barton um die Ecke zu bringen. Aber dann trifft der echte Morgan in Purgatory ein – und steht schließlich Latigo im Duell gegenüber.
