Frost and Hancock are ex-Confederates who, with the help of their henchmen, are plotting the assassination of former president Ulysses S. Grant. But they're not angry over the war; rather, their hatred comes from pure greed. They lost their fortunes when Grant dumped government gold on the market. Now, with Grant planning a tour of the Rockies, they're scheming to lure him to Mountain Springs by inviting Matt Tyler, the man who saved the general's life during the war, to come work for their law firm. However, President Hayes is on to them and he's sending the young lawyer to Colorado on a dangerous mission to scuttle their plan.
