As the story opens, it is seen that we are in an old shack in the Old West. It is located at a crossroads and is a restaurant of sorts, a few miles out of town. Maggie Flynn is the owner and cook, assisted by Ben Morgan, an old-timer. When Ben leaves for more fuel, Maggie is left alone, but shortly afterwards, Del Delaney arrives. Del is in a strange mood, and does not relax, or take off his gun belt at Maggie's invitation. As Maggie prepares a meal, Red Hillman arrives. It is immediately obvious that the two men are at odds, and had Maggie not been present there would be gunplay. Although she tries her best, Maggie soon realizes she will not be able to stop the men from shooting one another. Or will she?
