About this title

Synopsis:

In "Bullets Starve a Fever", cattle infected with Texas Fever offer a deadly opportunity for Bill Fear's plan of revenge. In Wanted for Blackmail, Sheriff Walt Crowe, also a wanted man, gives local strongman Mike O'Hara an advantage for his own devious plans. In "Mission to the Gilas", Fat Holden has sent for his former saddlemate, Luke McVickers, to make the difference in the contest between the Circle W and Ren Emrath's Box M. The dispute is over the same water hole that years before had led to the murder of Luke McVickers's father when the Box M was owned by them. In "Three-Cornered War", Lew King was framed with cattle rustling and sent to Yuma Prison. Now, he's back, running his ranch as before, but now he has enemies. In "Desert Drive", Morgan Blake, owner of Singletree, is shot from ambush while hunting. The murderer makes the death seem accidental with a charge of Giant Powder, but there is someone who learns what is really going on.
