Plot summary
In 1865 in Colorado, a gold assayer is found dead, and a posse chases Lane Waldron. Lane says the dead man had looked at ore taken from his mine, and he denies the shooting. When the posse catches him, the men turn into a lynch mob and fit a noose around his neck. A shot cuts the rope; the marksman is Brett Sherwood, a Confederate captain. The pair flee to a cabin, where Brett leaves a gun out as a test. Lane takes it and finds it empty, and Brett ties his hands and leaves him behind.
