GUNN STAYS ON TOP OF A TIGHT SITUATION

There's a trail of dead miners in Alder Gulch, each bearing the brand of a gun on his cheek—Gunn's trademark from his days of tracking rustlers in Wyoming. It's a frame, pure and simple, but the town is out to string Gunn up to the nearest hanging tree.

Only Ellen Snow believes Gunn is on the up and up and the adventurous vixen rubs him the right way when she gives him a hot scoop on the killings. It's a stiff proposition but he can almost taste victory as she leads him down the vengeance trail.

Ready to clear his name and avenge his dead, Gunn oils up his weapon and heads into the brush. And when the bullets start flying, he's going to shaft anybody who gets in his way!
