Johnstone Country. Where Real Cowboys Never Run. They Fight Back.
Ben Washington and his gang of murdering prairie rats have been
terrorizing Wyoming Territory for quite a spell: rustling cattle,
robbing stagecoaches and railroads, and slaughtering settlers. When
Sheriff Buck Trammel of Laramie learns that Washington and his killers
have been menacing an innocent family, he and his deputy ride out and
bring Washington in the hard way--at the barrel of a gun.
When word spreads fast of Washington's capture, gambler Adam Hagen
begins taking wagers on the outlaw's fate--where and when his gang will
bust him loose--and quickly finds himself sitting atop a mountain of
cash. Naturally, greed forces Hagen to open the stakes nationwide. As
the stink of easy money grows, the New Orleans gang known as the LeBlanc
Brothers crawl into town posing as cattlemen. And the LeBlanc's never
leave a job empty-handed . . .
When the LeBlanc Brothers team up with Washington's cut-throats join
Washington cut-throats, Trammel is forced to play a dangerous
high-stakes game of own where any move he makes could not only cost a
deputy his life, but threaten justice in Laramie forever.
