  Post-Civil War
  
  
  Texas is a hell of a rough place. And for a man wearing a kilt, it
  
  
  is even rougher. Colin Farquharson insists on retaining his native
  
  
  Scottish dress but to do so unarmed on the Texas frontier could get
  
  
  him killed. At least it provides a distraction for the bandits
  
  
  attempting to rob the stage he's on and a distraction is all his
  
  
  fellow passenger, the Ysabel Kid, needs.
  
  
    
  
  
  Unfortunately
  
  
  the leader of the bandits is killed in the process and his brothers
  
  
  blame Colin and come looking for him. If he's going to stay alive
  
  
  long enough to impress mustanger's daughter Jeanie Schell, Colin
  
  
  will have to learn to use a gun and he'll find no better teachers
  
  
  than the fighting men of the newly formed floating outfit.
