Plot summary

Nevada, 1885. Gil Carter and Art Croft ride into a small town to discover that a beloved member of the community has been murdered and his cattle stolen. Vengeance-seeking townsfolk, aided by the Deputy Sherriff, quickly form a posse and set out to catch those responsible. Sources have pinpointed the location of some likely suspects. Cooler heads warn against doing anything rash and strongly suggest that the alleged perpetrators be brought in and justice taken its proper course. However, the townsfolk are bent on lynching the suspects.—grantss
