"Whipsaw" is the first episode of the second season of Tombstone Territory. The episode opens with the arrival of a stagecoach in Tombstone. The passengers are soon attacked by a group of bandits led by the notorious outlaw Billy Grimes. The attack is repelled by Sheriff Clay Hollister and his deputies. The passengers, who include a gambling man named Max Winkler and a beautiful woman named Nora Marlowe, thank Hollister for his bravery and continue on their journey.

Meanwhile, Billy Grimes and his gang begin a new scheme. They plan to take advantage of the newly constructed railroad that is due to pass through Tombstone. Grimes and his men will pose as construction workers and sabotage the line, forcing the railroad company to hire them to repair the damage.

Hollister gets wind of the plan and sets out to stop it. He enlists the help of a man named George Cleary, who has experience with the railroad. Cleary warns Hollister that the work of laying track is being done at a breakneck pace, leaving little time for safety precautions. In addition, Cleary tells Hollister that many of the workers are inexperienced and could easily be injured or killed.

Hollister and his deputies keep a close eye on the railroad work and manage to stop Grimes and his men from carrying out their plan. However, they are soon faced with another threat. There is a sudden outbreak of illness among the workers, and it is soon evident that they have contracted typhoid fever. Hollister and Cleary must work together to contain the outbreak and get medical help for the sick workers.

As the situation spirals out of control, Hollister realizes that Nora Marlowe is the key to solving the mystery. Nora's father is a doctor who has been studying typhoid fever, and she has some knowledge of the disease. She helps Hollister to understand the symptoms and how to treat the sick workers. In addition, she is able to track down a supply of much needed medical equipment.

With Nora's help, Hollister manages to contain the outbreak and save the lives of many of the sick workers. In the end, it is Max Winkler who is revealed to be the mastermind behind the entire scheme. He had hoped to make a fortune by shorting the stock of the railroad once the damage had been done. Hollister and his men apprehend Winkler and the other members of his gang and restore order to Tombstone.
