As Red Clark reined his horse in front of Dave Gridger's saloon, four six-shooters blazed as the saloon door opened, a man dropped to the dusty general store porch, a girl screamed, and Red Clark went into action. When the guns stopped, three of the four shooters lay dead. The fourth had hobbled his way to a horse and escaped.

Red Clark had heard Juilos County was "bad, plumb bad," so he had come to nose around and get himself a job. Chock-jam-packed full of bad men, this border country was-- or so he had heard. He hadn't seen any that looked bad; plenty that needed haircuts or sobering up, including the potbellied, red-nosed sheriff himself. Disgusted with what he is seeing, he befriends Zee Hill, a journeymen printer who wants the chance to get out a real paper -- one that will show various characters of that country in their true colors, and get justice for some of the small cattlemen against the greedy range barons.

When Red Clark's buddy, Shorty Dock, asked him to ride over to Wesco and search for a black-bearded man who had an annoying habit of shooting good men from ambush, the hard-riding redhead soon found himself in a tangle of trouble. But Red Clark's trigger talk carries conviction, and when the black-bearded stranger was finally unmasked, Red had things well in hand.

"Red Clark is tired of fighting other men's battles and returns to Miz Dobbs and her Arrowhead Ranch where he had spent much of his youth. He tries to settle down, but the Dobbs-Hepple feud has just burst into flame and he was just in time to lead the battle"--

Mladý Red Clark přijel do městečka Tajoly a stane se aktérem války mezi mocnými muži kraje. První příběh ze série o Red Clarkovi.
