Rowdy Yates and Gil Favor lead communal cattle drives.

Favor discovers some of his cattle, scattered by a storm, were sold by the orphanage operator who found them.

Favor captures a horse thief (John Dehner), but the man blackmails old friend Wishbone into helping him escape.

Strange things follow the arrival of a black-garbed man (Nehemiah Persoff) who emerged in dry clothes from a thunderstorm.

While scouting for a possible outlaw attack, Favor and Rowdy meet a Spanish woman riding with drifters.
