Jim investigates an accidental killing during a robbery.

Jim is sent to Moose Creek, Canada, to identify the corpse of an outlaw only he has seen, but the man was killed with a shotgun blast to the face, which makes him hard hard to identify; a woman claims the body is her brother's body.

The son of a dead man accused of a stage coach robbery finds an empty strongbox in the attic and hopes that Jim Hardie can help him uncover the real thieves.

Hardie gives a job to the son of a former employee who was fired.

Hardie tries to prevent a lynching when a town's hard cases accuse a Basque sheepherder of the abduction a young girl.

Hardie isn't pleased when a man and beautiful woman insist on becoming passengers on the stagecoach he will use.
