The story is told in flashback as seen through the eyes of a legendary black gunfighter and his posse of desperados. The story begins in the present as an old man sits amid western memorabilia and fading photos of black settlers and gunslingers. He wants to set the record straight on the role of the African-American in our country's western history. He then relates the story of Jessie Lee and the original posse beginning with the Spanish American War in Cuba. Jessie and a small group of black soldiers are under the command of an egocentric, sadistic bully, Colonel Graham. Graham is a white man with political ambitions who makes sure he stays safely out of harm's way as he orders his men into the front lines for the dirty and dangerous duties of war or any other tasks that will add credit to the vain colonel's record. He orders Jessie and a black unit on a particularly dangerous assignment behind enemy lines. Jessie knows that what the colonel is really sending Jessie on is a suicide mission and that his only hope for survival is to accept the assignment. He and his men not only succeed but also discover a fortune in gold coins in the Cuban camp. As they leave the enemy camp with the gold, the Colonel Graham and several of his soldiers confront the group. It seems their mission was a set-up by the colonel, who intends to shoot Jessie and his men, claiming the men were killed by enemy gunfire. Of course, he will make no mention that the gold ever existed. A battle ensues between the two sides and Jessie and his men escape with the gold, leaving the colonel for dead. They exchange the gold for cash and escape Cuba by boat, hidden in coffins. However, the colonel does not lose his life, only an eye and he is out for revenge. Wanted posters are distributed with a five hundred dollar reward placed on each of the members of "The Outlaw Posse." Graham stalks Jessie from New Orleans through the old west to a black settlement named Freemanville where it seems Jesse also has some old scores to settle.
