The story opens in Santa Fé, then a decrepit adobe capital at the edge of the American frontier, with nothing grand about it but its name. From there a young army officer, a beautiful heiress and a set of scheming companions, among them the dangerous Texas Smith, set out across deserts, mountains and hostile country on the long road to California.
