Despite his previously unblemished reputation, for years cowboy sheriff Cash McCall had been the prime suspect in his fiancee's disappearance and presumed murder. So when a woman claiming to be her showed up, Cash was finally off the hook... even though his instincts told him he'd never before held this woman.
