23 year old Joe Vennel rides to find a place to start living and own cattle; he is set upon by four men and his right hand is crippled. He finds refuge and work with Jonathan Wade and when a bank is robbed he is one of the posse to follow the thieves and murderers. From the stranger Lincola Joe learns that vengeance killing is not for him but sticks to the trail and sees justice done. Terse and rugged.
