His fiance, Becky Townsend, is a hostage. How can Lane free her and the other townspeople without great loss of life. It takes Bear Townsend and his ranch crew to help Lane take care of the killers but in a real twist, Becky (fast gun that she is) takes care of the arch-villain, Blackie Getts. Don't miss this one.
