Station tragedy. An absentee station owner's manager Kyle plans to marry Letty the pretty step-daughter of a tenant farmer but his legal wife, the old housekeeper who he is trying to to poison, betrays his secrets to her employer. Meanwhile Letty wants to marry the trainee station manager, a young friend of the owner - Kyle's murder by his wife and the station owner's intervention on the young couple's behalf change events. A stockman's dream discovers Kyle's body where his murdress had thrown him after poisoning his toddy with the powder he had been slowly feeding her. Not as horror-filled and gory as earlier tales.
