Brent and Brian Sackett are identical twin brothers who fought on different side during the War Between the States. When the War was over Brian Sackett returned to the family cattle ranch, but Brent, bitter over the outcome of the War, took jobs that kept him separated from the family.
Brent worked as a deputy sheriff in a small town in Texas, but when he saw an opportunity to pick up several thousand dollars in stolen money he did so. When confronted by the town's sheriff Brent killed him and became a man on the run.
When AJ Sackett, Brent and Brian's older sibling is shot and critically wounded, Brian went after the man he was told did the shooting. The man he began pursuing, however, was innocent of the shooting. Brian caught up with the man in San Antonio, but when Sackett was given knockout drops the man got away.
Brent tracked him to Laredo where he once again caught up with him only to find the man had been killed.
During this time Brent was making a name for himself as an outlaw and his description was showing up on wanted posters. Brian, looking exactly like his brother, began having to dodge posse's and bullets from lawmen thinking he was Brent.
As fate would have it both brothers eventually headed for San Antonio on different trails, but at the same time.
