Answering a call from Jonathan Park the banker for the town Cody's Landing, who wants to hire the Kid to make sure the upcoming election for sheriff is an honest one.

In the local saloon, the Kid crosses paths with Hobe Smith and the two exchange harsh words, that convince the Kid that Park is telling the truth.
Later that day the Kid is walking about town when he comes across some men and asks them who they intend to vote for. When they tell him that they are going to vote for Park and get violent, the Kid defends himself until Park comes out and tells the men to stand down, telling them that they were about to draw against the Two-Gun Kid and that the Kid is under his employ. When the Kid suddenly realizes that Park has men who are being paid to make sure people vote for him, the Kid decides to have a good talk with Hobe Smith. Not liking this Jonathan pulls a gun and tries to shoot Two-Gun in the back, but the Kid manages to dodge the shot by rolling onto the ground and succeeds in shooting the gun out of Park's hand. However one of Park's men manages to draw and shoot one of the Kid. Park and his men then leave the Kid there to die in the street as a message to the others.
However the Kid is found by Hobe Smith who takes him to the local doctor for treatment.

Realizing who was that Hobe is the right man for the sheriff's position. With too many of Park's men out to threaten people, the Kid convinces officials to hold the election at midnight that night. When Hobe tries to force the outlaws out, they stand their ground until the Two-Gun Kid challenges them. Sure enough the outlaws flee without a single bullet fired. Without his men to back him up, Jonathan Park surrenders telling the Kid that he surrenders. The Kid then reveals that Park surrendered to a blind man, and Hobe wins the election by a landslide. Later, with his vision restored, the Kid reveals that he chose the midnight election time in order to bluff Park into surrendering.
