Trampas is deputized and asked to transport a murder suspect to the town of Coulter Station. The prisoner, a meek young man, is accused of killing his girlfriend and escaping justice. He admits that he and his girlfriend had argued, but claims he was drunk and passed out and has no memory of the crime. Trampas looks forward to seeing his old friend, the sheriff of the town. When he arrives there with his prisoner, he learns that the sheriff died just a day or two earlier after being thrown by his horse and dragged. Trampas, along with the man's daughter, both have doubts about the accident. He sets out to discover the truth beside both incidents, which he believes are connected somehow. A strong episode deftly weaves together a complex plot with intriguing side stories. Very well done all around, with a satisfying ending.
