Alton masterminded a crime and left his helpers to swing for it. Hungry for revenge, the murderous hard cases have overrun the Double Cross and are holding Sue-Ellen prisoner. They believe she's harboring some very important information. Ty boldly rescues her from the ranch-only to find their troubles are only beginning....
Ralph Compton stood six-foot-eight without his boots.
