Horatio/Amen has come to town to visit an old name Smith, his former partner in crime. Smith is the local priest and blacksmith. He once stole $5,000 from Horatio, who now wants it back, but unfortunately, Smith used the money to serve God by promisin a dying priest to take over his position and to build a church. Smith spent all Horatio´s money to build the church. An exceptional safecracker Smith is talked into joining up with Horatio to rob a strongbox containing half a million dollars. They put together a gang comprised of a senile old man, a bartender and, yes, and the old man’s grandson
 
Every member of a gang has a specific role among which is double-crossing each other. It all leads to one big brawl, in which Smith makes his way through a saloon full of customers, who he dispenses with pretty easily. During the brawl a schoolmistress makes off with the money.
