From the time John J. Macreedy steps off the train in Black Rock, he feels a chill from the local residents. The town is only a speck on the map, and few strangers ever come to the place. Macreedy himself is tight-lipped about the purpose of his trip and he finds that the hotel refuses him a room, the local garage refuses to rent him a car, and the sheriff is a useless drunkard. Its apparent that the locals have something to hide, but when he finally tells them that he is there to speak to a Japanese-American farmer named Kamoko, he touches a nerve so sensitive that he will spend the next 24 hours fighting for his life.
When the streamliner stops at Black Rock for the first time in four years, mysterious one-armed stranger John J. Macreedy disembarks and asks how to reach Adobe Flat to meet the Japanese-American farmer Kamoko. He is not allowed to check into the hotel and he is unable to rent a car. Soon he notes that the sheriff is a drunkard and Reno Smith rules the place with his henchmen Hector David and Coley Trimble, and he feels that the inhabitants are hiding something. When he finally manages to rent a jeep from Liz Wirth, he drives to Adobe Flat and finds the farmhouse burned to the ground. He immediately concludes what might have happened to Kamoko and tries to communicate with the state police, but he discovers that Smith controls the communication. Further, veterinarian Doc Velie tells him his life is in danger and unsuccessfully tries to help him escape. Who is John J. Macreedy and what will happen to him?
