Pasque Pendragon has come to live at his uncle's great Keystone Ranch in Wyoming territory after two of his brothers were murdered on a cattle drive. Pasque is eager to avenge them. Then everything changes with the arrival of a stranger at the ranch Christmas party. The giant of a man issues a challenge: he will allow any man to fire three shots at him, provided he may, if alive, do the same to them in a year's time.
