A gang of killers puts Operation Scare-Off into action against the wives of the interfering peace officers. Sheriff Jack Tragg sets up all the scientific aids and modern techniques of radio patrols, white-coated lab crews, and motorized posses with full assault armament. But when Deputy Brad Counter is faced by a member of the gang armed with a sawed-off shotgun, only one thing can save him - his traditional skill and deadly speed on the draw. At that moment either Brad of the outlaw has only a quarter of a second left to live.
