In this modern Western, Division 13 is the old police station for the Anderson ghetto in a bad part of Los Angeles. Tomorrow it closes for good but tonight it is still staffed by Officer Chaney (Henry Brandon), Lieutenant Ethan Bishop (Austin Stoker), Julie (Nancy Kyes) and Leigh (Laurie Zimmer). Lawson (Martin West) is passing through the area when a violent gang kills his young daughter in revenge for members killed by police bullets. Lawson grabs a gun from another shooting victim, chases the punks down and kills the shooter. In shock and unable to speak Lawson then seeks shelter in Division 13 from the gang. Three prisoners being transported arrive at the station when one becomes ill and the guards stop to get medical help. The gang ambushes the transport and kills everyone but convicted killer Napoleon Wilson (Darwin Joston) and fellow prisoner Wells (Martin West). They are rescued and locked up in cells but are released to help when the gang declares full war on the occupants trapped in a building that is now without phones or electricity.
