Red Clark, six feet of tornado from Tulluco, had no business butting into one of George Hamel’s crooked poker games. But when he saw a young tenderfoot being cheated, his .45s itched to do justice.

That was the start of the Red Clark’s trouble in lawless Tajola, but hardly the end of it. For Hamel, leading a deadly conspiracy, gave orders to his tough Cross Bar crew to destroy the red-headed stranger.

Two ambush attempts failed. After that even an army couldn’t have driven Red out of town as he swept into a violent, two-gun crusade to sweep Tajola clean of renegades and outlaws.
