A treacherous ride for supplies brings mortal danger to a
trigger-happy gunfighter in this thrilling Ralph Compton western.
Big Charlie Chilton knows better than to lose his temper, but when a
loudmouth threatens to expose his long-buried secrets, he can't help but
teach the man a lesson about keeping quiet. Unfortunately, it turns out
the man was about to make an important supply run for the town marshal,
and Marshal Watt knows just enough about Shotgun Charlie's past to draft
him into service.
The trek north would be treacherous enough with the snow, but the ragtag
drunkards running the freighting outfit make Charlie ill at ease. When
bad blood springs up between them, Charlie is left for dead on the side
of the mountain. But they should have made sure he was really gone,
because the wounded bear of a man isn't down without a fight, and he's
ready to wreak vengeance on those who did him wrong....
