However, upon arrival, Quigley learns the truth: Marston intends to use his sharpshooting skills to exterminate the local Aboriginal population. Horrified by Marston’s genocidal intentions, Quigley refuses, prompting a violent confrontation. Left for dead in the wilderness, Quigley is rescued by the very people Marston sought to destroy.
