Story
Harry Quinn, known as the Black Knight, was a legendary bounty hunter who went after gangs purely for money. After his wife died, he gave up guns, and two decades on he is a meek saloon keeper hiding his past. His daughter Maggie, a deputy, worships the Black Knight and looks down on her father, never guessing they are one and the same. Then the Rattlesnake Gang captures Maggie, and Harry has to draw his gun again.
