In 1911, the family of former outlaw John Marston is kidnapped by Bureau of Investigation agents, Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham, who force him to hunt down his former gang members in exchange for his family's return. John first goes after former ally Bill Williamson, who now leads his own gang that terrorizes the residents of New Austin. He arrives at Williamson's stronghold at Fort Mercer, but fails to persuade him to surrender, resulting in John being shot and left for dead. Rescued by local rancher Bonnie MacFarlane, he helps her with several jobs around her farm, while formulating a plan to attack Williamson's gang. John makes a number of allies to help him carry out the attack, including U.S. Marshal Leigh Johnson (Anthony De Longis), con artist Nigel West Dickens (Don Creech), treasure hunter Seth Briars, and an arms smuggler known as "Irish". Ultimately, John and his allies storm Fort Mercer and kill all of Williamson's men, but learn that Williamson has fled to Mexico to seek help from Javier Escuella, another former member of John's gang. John parts ways with his allies and travels to Mexico. Upon his arrival in Nuevo Paraíso, John becomes involved in a local civil war between Colonel Agustín Allende, the state's tyrannical ruler, and Abraham Reyes, the leader of a rebellion against Allende's government. John works with both sides in exchange for help in tracking down his targets.
