Revolutionary War veteran sharpshooter Stephen Davis searches for the reality of the old saying, that all it takes is, "Two people and a piece of ground." He finds himself caught in a web of violent criminal activity instead, is hunted, must use his deadly skills too often. All while courting a planter's stunning daughter, overlooking a gifted farm girl. He rescues a stolen ex-slave, they wipe out a sophisticated robbery ring, but he is betrayed by his betrothed, then loses the other girl. Maybe.
