Description
Bart Shannon is the sole survivor of a herding party bushwhacked by rustlers on the Arizona trail.

Rumours soon circulate and Shannon realises that a crooked sheriff, who goes by the name of Zena Clayburn, has sworn out a warrant, charging him with conspiracy in the rustling of the herd.

Ruthless and aggressive, Zena is determined to become the richest landowner in the state, and refuses to let anyone get in her way, especially Bart Shannon.

Through instilling fear and terror amongst other landowners around her, Zena forces the smaller landowners to either sell out, or face a brutal murder.

Horrified by Zena’s increasing power gained through heartless brutality, Shannon becomes determined to put a stop to her greed.

He insists on continuing his vow to hunt down the men who killed his companions and left him for the dead...

Despite his smooth gun ability and courageous perseverance however, Shannon’s future becomes cloudy as his life is put in jeopardy.

Through a hard struggle on his own initially, he finally gains support and a vicious war begins.

Will Shannon be able to pull through and achieve what he intended to do?
