The Virginian: Medicine Bow storekeeper, Benjy Davis, a friend of the Virginian, is sentenced to death for murdering Hobey Kendall, a man who sexually assaulted his wife. However, Benjy says he had met a man near the murdered man's home named Jonah McIntosh and the Virginian traces that man to a colony of mountain men near Wind River. Jonah admits he killed Kendall in self-defence but will not return to clear Benjy. The Virginian takes Jonah a prisoner but has a difficult time getting Jonah back to Medicine Bow due to the pursuing mountain men and an encounter with a murderous trapper. He manages to accomplish his task thanks to the help of a beautiful young Shoshone widow, Hapamawa and to a growing respect and trust between himself and Jonah.
