Dr. Michael Jons, M.D. is innocently condemned of murder and the only doctor in town.
Judge Franklin Grant accused him of murdering a man he accidentally shot in self-defense. Jons has a witness, his friend and employee Danny, but Grant doesn't trust Danny's statement. In addition he doesn't want to set Jons free, because he also blames him for his wife's death who died during an operation.
Ben asks Jons to examine Hoss and with Grant's permission he agrees to do so. Additionally Ben investigates about Jons and tries to prove his innocence.
Jons became a doctor, because his wife Karen embezzelled some money from the company she worked for so that he could continue his studies. Karen was very ill and had to pay many bills. The Jons had to leave immediately. Stevens, the reporter Jons accidentally killed, found out what happened and wanted to publish it.
