A band of Indians blocks Slade's efforts to bring a murder suspect, Beth Calvin,  in for trial. The woman killer has taken to the hills. Slade comes to the rescue of Beth (Calvin (Gloria Talbott) who is accused of killing the sheriff's deputy. After narrowly escaping a band of Sioux Indians, he finds evidence which proved that the deputy was slain by Marlowe (James Chandler), the Indian agent, because he was caught selling contraband rifles to the Sioux. 

Slade is accused of collecting a reward for a job he did not do. He is summoned to Silverado by the marshal who says he collected a $1,000 reward for a job he never finished. Slade was given $1,000 to straighten things out by an unknown client. Slade had once collected a reward for shooting murderer John Colfax. But one day the townspeople claim to see Colfax in the flesh.
