In Santa Fe, New Mexico, Clint meets a beautiful artist, who asks if she can paint his portrait. He agrees, and they begin to work together, but no sex occurs between the two. However, the woman's husband-a prominent lawyer and would-be politician, who is also an abusive husband-doesn't believe this. When he is found dead, murdered, in his wife's studio, everyone in town assumes Clint Adams did it. It falls to the Gunsmith to prove otherwise.
