When Dave Butler and his sidekick, Randy Russell, sell a Winchester Model '73 rifle to a man they meet on the trail to Medicine Bow, their troubles begin. Arriving in town with a pocket full of money, they are soon arrested for the murder of the man who had bought the rifle from them. When another dead body turns up, they are soon accused of murdering and robbing that man too. Things go from bad to worse when an angry mob forms threatening to lynch the men. This is a taut who-done-it, Western style. Another good read for the Western fan.
