A chance encounter with Uncle Bill reveals that he has been tasked with observing the operations of the Maltese Cross ranch, where concerns about possible mismanagement and a fellow executor named Buck Walters loom large. As Rock departs, he contemplates the dangers he may face, not only from the wild and untamed landscape but also from human conflicts, especially after a foreshadowing encounter involving Elmer Duffy, whose younger brother he had previously killed in a fight.
