Andy Stillman went off to college in 1871. He returned in 1875 with a civil engineering degree. Upon arriving in Willow Creek, Wyoming, he finds that his father has been murdered by hired guns of a rival rancher, but that can't be proven in a court of law. He's been away for four years. People in town don't know who he's become. To them, he's more city dude now than rancher. He's a tenderfoot. He has "book learnin'." He's almost an outsider.
