Farley Weaver comes to North Fork to meet up with his wife Bessie Steel who works at the local café. He also reports to the Marshal since he's just been paroled from prison. As a young man, he was involved in a holdup but now wants to start a new life. Lucas McCain takes a liking to him and offers him a job until he gets on his feet. Trouble starts however when Farley visits ornery old Chris Manse and finds him dead. People in North Fork know of his background and are quick to rush to judgment.
