West and Gordon are investigating reports of a ghostly horseman made by Jeremiah, the stable boy of Carl Jackson, a wealthy Mill Creek rancher. When the apparition appears it seems to be immune to bullets and able to move at incredible speed. West accuses Jeremiah of complicity in the matter despite the protests of Jackson's fiancée, Elizabeth Carter. A dropped hat indicates that the rider is Confederate Colonel Beaumont Carson, who died 13 years ago in a fire - a fire which Jackson himself set. Jackson thinks that only he and three other conspirators, who are now leading citizens in Mill Creek, know who was responsible, but Jeremiah, West and Gordon intend to demonstrate just how wrong he is...
