Summary | Black Rock: Jim Gatlin, a Texas trail driver, arrives in the town of Tucker where, due to a case of mistaken identity, he kills the segundo of Wing Cary's Flying C Ranch. Gatlin is a dead-ringer for Jim Walker, who, like Cary, wants control of the XY Ranch. Gatlin is thrown into a situation in which all he can do is fight for his life. Gamble of the KT: Seventeen-year-old Shandy Gamble is in Perigord with plans to buy a new saddle and bridle with the 500 dollars in reward money he had received for catching two horse thieves, but instead he gets conned out of the money. When he returns to the KT Ranch and learns that the con man is back and hanging out with the June gang, he decides it's time to get his money back and even the score. Showdown Trail: Always a fighting man, both for the U.S. Army and in battles across the ocean, Tom Kedrick has been hired to help run off the squatters and outlaws occupying a strip of land claimed to be an unusable swamp. When he learns that he is being misled by his new bosses and that the squatters are honest and hard-working settlers, including one of his father's old friends, he has to determine for which side he will fight. |
