In a remote Idaho desert village on a cold autumn evening a drunk marksman persuades his child Kit to stage a gun display. She is forced to rob travelers with $5 gold pieces before her father, proud of his prowess, shoots himself after witnessing the fatal outcome. The crowd reacts in terror as the sun sets over crimson mountains.
