Against his better judgment, Paynter travels to the mining fields to bring the culprits to justice.

Now, he is in irons and certain to be hanged for killing his captain after refusing an inhumane order.

The people of the wagon train begin looking to Paynter for leadership, and he reluctantly falls into the role.
