Dave Gunnison didn't drift up to Wyoming looking for trouble, but he found it in spades. Bloodhound deputy sheriff Newton Thomas was on his trail for a Cheyenne bank robbery that Dave was lured into. Dave was going to be the deputy's ticket to his sheriff's star, and he was determined to bring him in--dead or alive. Homesteader Nathan King offered Dave shelter in trade for his help in fending off an army of hired guns in the Johnson County range war. It was the dirtiest fight the West had ever known and Dave was right on the firing line. Dave Gunnison had drifted into a Wyoming death trap, and he'd have to shoot his way out of it!
