The Ohio & Kentucky Railroad is coming to the dead-end town of Nopoint but one man stands in its way: Matt Berry, owner of the town's freight and passenger company. He is persuaded that his stagecoach business has had its day but he doesn't like the heavy-handed, grabbing ways of the railroad company and is determined to hold out against the might of big business. When the going gets tough two footloose cowpokes, Jim Dawson and Brad Cook, are hired as shooters to protect him. But they are up against the brutal fixer hired by the Railroad, Daniel Blanche. Thrown into the mix is a whore-house floozy, under whose spell all three men fall. Murder, mayhem and betrayal follow. Is this all the future there can ever be for a town that already calls itself 'Nopoint'?
