The story

In the late 1870s, chief engineer Gil Harkness and construction foreman Jim Vesser are surveying a new route for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) through the Royal Gorge in Colorado. Vesser learns that a crew from the competing Cañon City & San Juan Railroad (CC&SJ) is also in the gorge and confronts former friend Bob Nelson and his unscrupulous boss McCabe, who shoots Nelson in the back during a fight. McCabe and his crony Johnny Buff blame Vesser, who thinks that he accidentally shot Nelson while stunned from a blow.
