In the town, preacher and mayor Abraham Brant the man who killed Kingston's father in a ”Helena Duel” knife fight in 1866 is keeping all the townsfolk in some kind of fearful grip. When Kingston arrives in town, the townsfolk act cold and hostile towards him, with the exception of Brant, who is smitten by Kingston's wife, Marisol.
