Capt. Jack Zane's Texas homecoming in 1868 produces immediate trouble, for, as a veteran of the Union army, he is not welcome. His attempts to tell the truth of rancher North's murder, to prevent Vingie North's marriage to his enemy Jass Hardcastle and to avoid capture keep him on the move and on the draw until an honest sheriff gives him a chance. Zane's reputation as a Texan turncoat is soon cleared up. Zippy.
