SYNOPSIS:
A lone rider treks across the Oregon Territory, looking for something, or someone. Night falls as a young woman sits bound and gagged, alone by campfire. A man emerges from the darkness and slowly walks towards the fire. He walks to her showing he means no harm as another figure appears from the shadows. The new man reveals he’s a US Marshall, and both men show their pistols. The first man whistles for another figure to emerge from the darkness — the two bandits smile as it’s a lopsided standoff — two against one. They hesitate, then quickly draw their pistols! Everyone is shot, except for the young woman–who also pulled a gun in the draw! She speaks to US Marshall who is still standing, revealing he’s her father and the campfire was staged capture the bandits. But when her father suddenly collapses, he reveals he’s been shot. As he dies, his daughter’s scream echoes into the night–she’s now alone in the vast, rugged wilderness.
