In the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War (1861-1865), Jeff Donovan's outlaw gang, disguised as soldiers of both the Confederacy and the Union, rob banks using a cannon concealed in a wagon. A man about town by the name of Holy Water Joe, called such to differentiate between him and his father, Fire Water Joe, finds himself penniless when all his savings are gone due to a bank robbery by the Donovan gang.
