James Faraday is a ruthless outlaw with an equally bloodthirsty gang. After he and his gang rob a stagecoach, kill the driver, and take the gold, he is finally captured by a persistent Marshal and an unlikely bounty hunter. While Faraday's gang works overtime to free their boss before his trip to the gallows, the Marshal tries desperately to get Faraday onto the last train leaving Perdition...and on his way to the hangman's noose.
