When a cheater runs off with his poker money and gets killed, Slocum?s jailed for murder, then rescued by a British beauty. But when he realizes what her bullying brother wants from him, Slocum wants out.
This episode takes place in and around Virginia City,Nevada.Jake Logan wasn't looking for trouble ,but before he knows it,he's sitting in a jail cell ,with a good chance of facing the hangman.Little did he expect that a girl would be the one that would help him escape to live another day. He figures he owes a favor in return and agrees to work for a British Lord who is out to get hold of a treasure that will ensure he retains the wealth to retain his rank. As usual,nothing ever works out as it would appear.There is a lot of skulldrugery going on with people getting killed ,and even Slocum seems to be defenceless against an unbelievable sniper with skills with a rifle that are far beyond anything he has ever come up against before.That,on top of not being able to figure who is telling Slocum the truth;and who is lying ,makes this a tale filled with mystery. This saga was a little too long on Mystery and much too short on what I hope for in Old West tales of adventure for my liking;but despite that,it was a story that kept my interest to the end.
