They find something unexpected - a Masonic ring, a tarnished sheriff's badge and a human skull. The sheriff of the nearby border town of Frontera, Sam Deeds, begins to investigate. His first stop is a local Mexican restaurant. There he confronts the current mayor Hollis Pogue who proceeds to tell his favourite story. It deals with Hollis' career as a young deputy under the corrupt sheriff Charley Wade and the night Wade was run out of town by another young deputy, Buddy Deeds - Sam's own father.
