Plot summary
New Mexico, 1866. Gunmen shoot down Donato, one of the hands on Marty Hillmann's remote ranch. Soon after, a drifter who gives his name as Nebraska arrives and asks Hillmann for work. A display of gunfighting convinces Hillmann to hire him for odd jobs. Nebraska meets Hillmann's young wife Kay, and though the two are drawn to each other, he stays loyal to his employer and turns her down. In the town nearby, the criminal Bill Carter rules through hired thugs; he wants Hillmann dead and Kay for himself. Hillmann wants to ride at Carter at once after Donato's body is found, but Nebraska argues for caution, and the two men go to the sheriff to report the killing.
