Summary
Matt Dillon investigates the murder of isolated rancher Granby and arrests a suspicious drifter named Joe Tremble. Although the court fails to convict Tremble due to a lack of evidence, a Major reveals he is actually a deserter from the 7th Cavalry. Matt hands Tremble over to the Army, who plan to use him on an upcoming expedition against the Sioux, foreshadowing the coming conflict with General Custer.
