Hunt and the men continue making life better for the people of the plains by hunting down murderers and thieves. While doing so, Hunt loses one of his most experienced men to an ambush. Cal and Phyllis announce their plans to marry, and trouble erupts when Cal is confronted by Timmy Galloway, the boy who likes Phyllis, whom Hunt had ordered never to come around again. Hunt gets a visitor, Beau Hamlin, from Fort Hamilton in New York. He has a meaningful talk to understand what Hunt has in mind for his father’s ranch in Green River before he agrees to sell it to Hunt. A trip to Green River turns deadly when one of the ranch hands proclaims that George Hamlin had promised the ranch to him and that Beau has no right to sell it. A visitor from Washington comes to Denver and asks for Hunt’s help to track down a mountain man who has murdered over thirty people, eats them, and leaves animal heads on the bodies after decapitating them.
