Gregory Quist, man-hunter extraordinaire, was in Masquerade City to investigate a train wreck and a robbery, when two young wildcats - Ramon and Chris - sidetrack him with a tale of murder. Their boss, Reed Haldane, had been found dead in his bed the day Quist arrived. The sheriff said it was suicide, but Ramon, Chris, and Haldane’s lovely daughter thought differently. There was a man in town who had been threatening to get Haldane for twenty years.
