MacLeod's old friend, Kit O'Brady, comes into town in search of a good race horse and a change of luck. MacLeod knew Kit back in Gold Rush San Francisco, when Kit ran the Double Eagle Saloon. Kit lost the Double Eagle to Amanda in a poker game, who then renamed it Queen of Spades and has blamed her ever since for his string of bad luck—and he's vowed to kill her if he ever sees her again. When Amanda chooses to breeze back into MacLeod's life while Kit is there (in addition, her hatred for Kit hasn't wavered either), MacLeod is hard pressed to keep them apart and to keep them from killing each other.

“On the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend’s life also, in our own, to the world.”

Remembering what she had,
What eagle look still shows,
While up from my heart’s root
So great a sweetness flows
I shake from head to foot.”
