A 1970s writer is on vacation with his girlfriend and stops at a desert ghost town, where they get taken until the storytelling begins: Jud McGraw is a stage  driver who gets robbed by Nimmo's gang and then gets blamed for stealing the gold. He goes to prison and vows vengeance. When he escapes, he finds the town Nimmo rules. Nimmo pretty much owns the whole town, including the sheriff, whose sister Billie is also Nimmo's woman. A quick-draw gunslinger, Kid Dandy, plays billiards and helps keep Nimmo safe from harm. McGraw watches their drunken parties from the hills, including a gang rape of Little Moon, a native American woman who only speaks Spanish. He later comes across Little Moon bathing in a spring, and her  moon is just fine. He devises plans to attack the town and destroy Nimmo, Little Moon does much of the labor and tries to attract McGraw, but he is too preoccupied. They kill many of Nimmo's men in the hills, and then go in for the final plan. McGraw almost gets killed trying to steal dynamite from Nimmo's shack, but Little Moon saves him. They pull it off and have a nice kiss in the end.
