The train is abuzz with the latest gossip: A young woman has been murdered and her mutilated body thrown from the train. Loco, a surly, odious loner has been arrested, and everyone wants him hanged. The judge asks the young lawyer to defend the man. Can T. C.save Loco from the hangman? Should he? Two young women prove to be a distraction for the young attorney, as do the cattle roundups and branding chores on his father's ranch. T. C. has many choices to make before all is said and done.
