Synopsis

To the lawless town of Snowstorm, Arizona comes the sickly Reverend Roger Ingraham, who is determined to spread the word of God. The reverend's mission places him in direct conflict with town boss Silent Scott, who runs the gambling and dance halls. Driven to desperation over the hold that Scott has on the town, the Reverend challenges the gambler, who is about to obliterate the holy man when Fluffy, Scott's saloon-girl mistress, intervenes and wins back the Reverend's life through the draw of cards. Taking Ingraham home with her, Fluffy nurses him back to health, and the reverend falls in love with the saloon girl. However, when Scott's bitterest enemy rides into town, Ingraham realizes that Fluffy could not withstand Scott's death and so stops the bullet meant for the gambler. The last act the Reverend performs before he dies is to conduct the ceremony which makes the gambler and saloon girl man and wife.
