New Prospect ramps up toward the dedication ceremony of a local legend, viewed as an innocent boy (of 21) shot dead by a cowardly scoundrel (actually a young outlaw with a price on his head brought down by the lawman whom he wounded). Raising statues to local heroes has become the rage and New Prospect doesn't want to miss its chance. The once-wounded lawman, his reputation tarnished, comes to set the record straight, but those who profit by the hype want to keep it going, and Deputy Ramsey wants to keep the peace as well as find a local girl gone missing.
