After the murder of his fiancée, Mack Thomas leaves Minnesota and goes to his uncle's ranch in Texas. While there, he learns that the death of his wife two years ago wasn't an accident but murder.

While discussing the murders with his friend, Dale Magee, the Clayborne County Sheriff, at one of the murder sites near a bridge being built, Dale offers Mack a job as a deputy sheriff and Mack accepts. Then, while they are at the bridge, Mack has a serious disagreement with the construction foreman.
