Hunt returns from training, takes over the U.S. Marshal’s office in Denver, and finds a large stack of complaints to handle. First, Hunt sends two good men, Jed and Earl to New Mexico to track down bank robbers. Then he sends three Marshals to the mines to handle three robbers who have the miners pinned down with gunfire. Hunt assigns two men to intercept an angry rancher who has organized a posse to track down cattle thieves, and Hunt wants to make sure they don’t lynch innocent people in the process. Hunt sends two men to Utah to settle down a community that has gone crazy with gunfire and fighting after the sheriff has been found murdered. Three men who were sentenced after Hunt captured them have broken out of prison and are coming to Denver to kill Hunt. Hunt receives permission to add two new U.S. Deputy Marshals and recruits two men who most feel are very unlikely candidates.
