Bat Masterson, frequent target of gunfights, falls into the sights of Harry Varden's trigger man. Varden, biggest saloonkeeper in Dodge City, fears that Bat plans to relieve him of some property - and he figures his only recourse is to eliminate Masterson.

Bat imports Dolly McGregor to play the piano in Luke Short's saloon, but rival saloonkeeper, Mayor Webber, changes city ordinances to outlaw her. Bat gets the governor to set up a peace commission in order to get rid of Webber and clean up the town.
