Concho is a fast-paced adventure story set in the west during its wildest days. Strip away its rough and tumble exterior, though, and you have a proud, honest tale of a young mans quest to find himself. Josh Jacoby, who has just turned 21, has been asked to fill in for the sheriff of Concho, Texas. On his watch, the Barton Gang robs the Concho Bank. The gang is no match for the deputy lawman, though, as he handily out-shoots and outsmarts them. But the town blames Jacoby for the shoot-out instead of praising him. Behind their hostility lies the fear that peace-loving Concho will now be overrun with gunslingers that want to put Jacoby in his place. As the town turns an ugly cheek to Josh, he decides to sell his ranch and hit the road, vowing never to return. Saying adios to his hot-tempered girlfriend, Josh heads north seeking adventure and a place to call home. On his travels, he takes a job as ramrod to a cattle drive of 7,000-head to Montana. Later in St. Louis, he discovers his skill at gambling and outwits card players during a very lucrative Mississippi riverboat trip. But Josh longs for more, and as he is called back to Concho once again, the questions arise. Can he find what he seeks by going home? Can Concho accept him as he is? Will his girl be waiting?
