America, 1888. Five years previously, Sheriff Doane put the murderer Jordan behind bars. But Jordan is not hanged for his crimes, but only serves a prison sentence. Freshly released, he wants revenge on Doane. To do this, he takes the Sunday train at 4:10 p.m. He wants to reunite the old gang, which consists of his younger brother and his friends Pierce and Colby. The ageing Doane, who is ravaged by illness and decay and has been asked to resign several times, is still in his post. He is waiting for Jordan, because the outgoing sheriff will not leave his town to the criminals without a fight.
