Jed Trask has been with the Sierra Mail & Stage Lines for many years. When a group of gunmen in the town of Latigo cuts off delivery of the goods and mail, he goes after those responsible with the help of some on the Virginia City council - the Cartwrights.

Stages and supply wagons rarely get to Virginia City without first being raided in a town called Cutthroat Junction. Jed Trask is hired as a troubleshooter to get rid of the criminals disrupting shipments and the Cartwrights accompany him.
