PLOT:
Trigger Duncan is a man who loves to kill. He does it legally by becoming a bounty hunter. When Duncan and the Boy Commandos are in pursuit of the same man, the suspect surrenders, but Duncan still kills him. Duncan decides to follow the Commandos, so they can lead him to other wanted criminals.
Trigger kills several more criminals, despite the protests of the Commandos. He finally slips up, when the Commandos track down witness, Spook Connors. Trigger kills Connors, but since Spook was not a criminal, Trigger is branded a murderer.
The Commandos pursue Duncan to a mountain retreat. When Trigger runs out of ammunition, the Commandos have him trapped. Rather than be taken in alive, Trigger jumps off the mountain to his death.
