Found injured by rancher Shep Horgan, Jubal Troop is offered a job as
cowhand and soon gains Shep`s trust. Mae Horgan, feeling she`s been
trapped into marriage with Shep, takes a shine to Jubal, although he is more
interested in Naomi Hoktor who is travelling with a wagon train camped on
Shep`s land. Pinky, until now top hand and used to Mae`s favours himself,
doesn't think much of the new deal and trouble is inevitable.
