Devon Frost is an artist who has come to an isolated place in New Mexico Territory to take impressions and make sketches of old buildings. As he does so, he gets caught up in a local intrigue in which the master of a hacienda intimidates the suitors of his stepdaughter. One of the suitors turns up dead, and even though it becomes evident that the young woman’s stepfather has an obsession for her, suspicion falls most strongly on the other suitor. Nobody seems to want to scratch very deep, however, until Devon takes the initiative to help the man he thinks is wrongly accused. |
