Former rancher Taw Jackson returns to his hometown to settle his score with corrupt businessman Frank Pierce. Three years earlier, Pierce had wrongly imprisoned Jackson and taken his land, including his home and newly discovered gold deposits. Jackson plans to steal a shipment of gold dust worth $500,000 from Pierce’s “war wagon,” an armored stagecoach surrounded by guards on horseback. Wes Fletcher, an elderly wagon driver employed by Pierce to transport dry goods, becomes Jackson’s informant. The third member Jackson recruits for his team is Lomax, an arms dealer and safecracker, who has already shot Jackson as part of Pierce’s plot. The fourth member of the team is Levi Walking Bear, a Kiowa translator, whom Jackson and Lomax rescue from a gang of Mexican bandits. Jackson then sends Lomax to retrieve the final member, Billy Hyatt, a teenage alcoholic and explosives expert. When the team first meets to discuss their plan, Fletcher brings his teenage “wife,” Kate, and flies into a jealous rage when Hyatt gives him coffee.
Jackson and Levi negotiate with the Kiowas; because Pierce is deliberately starving the tribe of its land, they agree to help. Meanwhile, Lomax goes to town and is approached in a saloon by Pierce, who offers him $12,000 to kill Jackson. Hyatt, intoxicated, enters the saloon and is about to reveal his plan. Lomax knocks him unconscious and turns him over to the sheriff for the night, then accepts Pierce’s offer but asks for time to complete the job.
In the morning, Jackson sends Hyatt to Fletcher’s farm. Hyatt finds Kate alone, and she reveals that her impoverished parents traded her to Fletcher. Fletcher returns and threatens Hyatt with a knife, but Jackson arrives in time to defuse the situation. Hyatt says he wants to use nitroglycerin for his part of the heist, so he, Jackson, and Lomax sneak into Jackson’s old ranch to steal some from Pierce. Jackson distracts Pierce by pretending to collect his old belongings, while Lomax and Hyatt break into a safe and grab the explosives. The next day, Hyatt rigs a bridge with nitro cylinders, Levi blocks the war wagon’s path with a fallen tree, Lomax and Jackson set a trap in a narrow gorge, and Pierce and his guards leave with the gold in the war wagon. Kiowa warriors create a distraction that briefly draws the guards away from the wagon, who become stranded on the other side of a canyon when the bridge explodes behind the wagon. Other Kiowa warriors attack the wagon to seize the gold, but a newly installed Gatling gun forces them to retreat. The fallen tree sends the wagon swerving into the gorge, and Jackson and Lomax trigger their trap, killing the drivers. Pierce shoots the last two men who try to abandon it, but the second man retaliates, dying, killing Pierce. The wagon crashes into a ravine, and Jackson’s team hides the gold dust in barrels of flour on Fletcher’s wagon. The Kiowa warriors arrive to seize the gold, and Fletcher is killed when he tries to stop them. Hyatt manages to use the last bottle of nitro to kill the chief and scare off the remaining warriors. The explosion scares the wagon horses; As they flee, the barrels of flour fall from the wagon and shatter next to a group of evacuating Kiowa women and children. Unaware that they contain gold, they gather the flour for food.
Jackson reaches the wagon first. In a hidden compartment, he finds $100,000 in gold that Fletcher had intended to steal from his partners. Thinking he has lost everything, Levi returns to the Kiowa, and an enraged Lomax takes Jackson’s horse as payment. When Hyatt arrives with Kate, Jackson gives them a small amount of dust and hides the rest. When an enraged Lomax confronts him, Jackson smugly tells him he must stay alive until the group meets in six months, as planned, to divide the loot.
