Settling down in the newly established town of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Gurowitz marries the lovely Anna Marcus and raises a family. But his conscience will not allow him to remain out of harm's way. Wyoming is a dangerous territory where justice is in need of an honorable man who is good with a gun. Benjamin "Blue Bear" Salomon is Gurowitz's estranged cousin.
