The mining town of King Creek sits in the heart of the Nevada goldfields. It has no law to speak of but Stover's Law - ruthlessly enforced by one greedy woman, her three callous sons, and a dozen hired gunmen. The Stover family is systematically fleecing the townsfolk of everything they have, with anyone standing in their way either bought off - or killed off. In desperation, Pearl Denton turns to her old friend, legendary town-tamer Sam Judge, for help.
