The people working on the ranch, the Shiloh Ranch, are cowboys caring
for huge herds of cattle. Trampus, the
friend and coworker of the
Virginian, peruses men who have robbed and killed a friend of his.
One of the men, Wismer, has been shot and is treated at a nearby army
camp by Lt. Belden (DeForest Kelley), the army doctor, while his partner, Frank Carlton,
is still hiding out in the Apache territory. The doctor stays with
Wismer because of his critical condition but falls asleep.
In that moment an acquaintance of Wismer, Mikea, comes in and kills
him to get the map of a hidden treasure.
Dr. Belden feels responsible for Wismer’s death not knowing that Mike
has killed him.
When Trampus comes in he finds one of the men he pursues dead (Wismer)
and confronts Mike making him help to look for Carlton.
Helen also goes along to look for Carlton and reveals later
that she's Carlton's wife.
Dr. Belden comes along too.
Helen and Mike are killed in the Apache region, and the two men
find Carlton hanged. Before Mike dies he confesses Dr. Belden
that it was him who has killed Wismer.
Trampus and Belden struggle to survive but finally reach Wyoming area again.
