Description
Lew Weldon has been a tumbleweed, rolling where the wind blew him, up to Canada and down to Mexico. Over time he has earned a reputation as a gambler and a gunfighter. Riding into San Trinidad, Weldon finds his reputation has preceded him when he receives two job offers. Roger Cunningham wants Lew to join his smuggling operation. Dr. Henry Watts wants to hire Lew to protect his patient dying of consumption, the beautiful Helen O’Mallock. Lew finds Watts’s proposition far more attractive, so he accepts the offer, knowing that Cunningham will resent the decision.
