Jason and the doctor that he's escorting, Dr. Evelyn Cole, take refuge at a way station near a well that they suspect Indians have poisoned.

Lucy Benson hires Jason to help develop her town, but the townspeople soon make it clear that Jason isn't wanted there.

Jason is forced to take charge of a prisoner on a stagecoach after the men making the transfer are killed. One of the surviving passengers is an officer that served on Jason's court-martial board.
