Guns of Justice

Des Willard was on the run for the alleged murder of his brother, Jeff, when the six-strong posse caught up with him. The posse didn’t get their man and returned one man short. According to the other five, Willard had got the drop on them and shot Sheriff Suter dead in cold-blood. A lesser man than Des Willard would have kept running but he knew he was innocent. Only the horse-rancher, Jack Mallory believed in him, but when the Banker, Ezra Scott, was murdered even Mallory doubted Willard’s innocence. Fortunately, the beautiful Sal Dormer, daughter of Seth Dormer, horse-trader, in Butane to buy Mallory stock, did not see Willard as a killer. When violence erupted, fomented by Hubert Dainton, Willard’s uncle, Somers the Lazy Q rancher, Kershawe the Stage-line owner and Smeaton the Indian trader, Dormer, backing Sal’s instincts, took a hand. Gristly evidence is faked to settle Willard’s hash once and for all and even with the Dormers’ help things look bleak. Salvation for Willard teeters on a knife-edge.
