He is looking to get rid of the Cavendish clan who have discovered a rich gold seam, the source of which lies beneath Daley's land, and to this end has hired his own help, notorious gunman Shotgun Murphy. Juke arrives in Jacinto, and is mistaken for Murphy, leading to a deadly encounter, where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. Hot lead will fly before the final showdown, when a snake eyes throw of the dice will settle all.
