Rustlers and Road Agents in Arizona Territory

Dax Gentry is a Deputy U.S. Marshal in Arizona Territory. He has been reassigned from the U.S. Marshal's Service in Prescott, Arizona to Tucson, Arizona. He has been given the task of escorting a convicted killer being held in the Tucson Jail over to the Yuma Territorial Prison.

As he travels from Prescott to Tucson, Arizona, he meets a woman passenger on the stagecoach. She has been in Prescott on business. She and her husband own a general store in Tucson and they have a daughter about the same age as Dax. The woman is rather taken with him being a big handsome lawman. She hopes to introduce him to her daughter when they get to Tucson.

For Dax its business before pleasure, so after he takes custody of the prisoner, he and the prisoner will be on the stagecoach to Yuma. He has been forewarned by the Tucson-county sheriff that his prisoner has a hot-headed brother and he just might attempt to help his brother to escape?

After he turns the prisoner over to the sheriff in Yuma, he gets on the stage back to Tucson. This time he meets a mother onboard the stage with her two attractive daughters heading for Tucson to perform at a local theatre. A situation arises when one of the young daughters takes an interest in the lawman, which creates another incident he finds himself involved in.

The lawman will find himself confronting stagecoach robbers, horse thieves, killers and an element of romance.
