A STAB of orange flame cut the darkness.
The heavy report echoed dully across the sodden rangeland.
George Walker, owner of the W Ranch sagged to the ground, the bullet in his back snuffing out his life in an instant.
The masked killer ripped the scarf from his face and dropped it beside the body, took a package of bills in bank wrapping and tossed it next to the mask...
Clint Koby, banker and owner of the C Ranch in Paradise Valley, and his vulturous gang were playing for big stakes.
If they won, their bank shortages would be covered and all of Paradise Valley would be theirs.
Only George Walker and his son, Gary, stood in their way.
By killing George Walker and railroading Gary to prison for bank robbery, they thought they had removed all opposition.
When Gary is released from prison, he and the loyal W outfit go into action with six-guns blazing against the VULTURES OF PARADISE VALLEY.
