Victoria Barkley, matriarch of the Barkley family, is approached by a smooth-talking salesman named Josiah Benson who offers her a deal on a shipment of mining equipment. But when Victoria discovers that the equipment is faulty and unusable, she tries to cancel the order. Benson, however, refuses to give her a refund and instead insists on selling her a different product: a Gatling gun. As tensions mount between the Barkleys and Benson, it becomes clear that the salesman will stop at nothing to get what he wants. With danger looming, the Barkleys must come together to protect their family and their land from the ruthless tactics of the "Death Merchant."
