Roy Tagger is not exactly a client of Clay Culhane. He asks Clay advice about the double jeopardy rule.
Tagger was cheated by his business partner and then spent time in jail for killing him. Now Tagger will kill that man and he cannot go to jail. He will take what is owed to him.
Clay figures that the man Tagger is after is Virgil Britt. He has some beef with Culhane over a court case about water rights. A case Culhane won.
When Virgil Britt is killed Clay ends up in jail while protesting his innocence. Then there is a second death and Clay Culhane is blamed for that.
It is left to Clay to clear his name.
Maybe Clay Culhane should had gone straight down to see Marshal Gib Scott after Tagger revealed his plans.
Tagger did not have much of a plan. He kills Britt and swans to his property thinking he could just help himself.
Not sure how Marshal Scott could hold Clay responsible for the second death. He was in the cell at the time and the body would had been still warm.
