When he returns he finds everyone thinks he is dead and his old friend David Mosely [Lyle Bettger] is now engaged to his old sweetheart Peggy Bigelow [Martha Hyer]. Mosely and the area's ranchers are also feuding with the local farmers over land use. Trask resumes his work as sheriff at the insistence of David Mosely.
