Plot

Jackson Redan, a Confederate States Army veteran of the American Civil War, attempts to rebuild his life by moving to Arizona Territory. His politeness and courtly Southern gentleman demeanor cause the residents of Prescott to name him Sugarfoot. Among his new acquaintances are merchant Don Miguel Wormser and saloon singer Reva Cairn. An enemy from Redan's past, Jacob Stint, has also taken up residence in Prescott and pays unwanted attention to Reva. Redan rescues her, but afterwards treats her coldly. Wormser entrusts Redan with four thousand dollars, which Stint steals, but Wormser forgives Redan. On business for Wormser, Redan makes a favorable deal, which earns him the enmity of Wormser's rival, Asa Goodhue. Redan reclaims the stolen four thousand dollars from Stint, but is shot in the process. Reva nurses him during his recovery, which thaws his attitude towards her. Stint and Goodhue continue to cheat the townspeople, so Redan puts aside his courtliness to end their villainy.
