Description
In Fort Morgan, three strangers show up in town: Sam Starr, Jack Pate, and Roger Beemis. Their saddlebags contain the loot of their most recent robbery. It is their hope that Fort Morgan will be a perfect sanctuary for them and it is with a sense of relief that they learn that the town marshall has just died and the town council has no immediate intention of replacing him. The community faces constant rustling, but the three strangers are content to ignore this---until their own horses are rustled. They set out to get their horses back. After all, who is in a better position to know just how thieves operate? In man Behind the Gun, Amos Swift's two sons find their father murdered. Jason, the elder brother, tells the young Arty Swift to prepare thier father's body for burial. Jason has other business to attend to at once. He knows very well who murdered their father. The sheriff is unlikely to do anything since there were no witnesses to the crime. So Jason sets out to even the score himself. His mistake, however, is to show compassion to one of the killers by letting him live. His actions provoke the sheriff, who sends posses to find him. Arty is left alone not only to see Amos Swift's burial but to run the ranch all by himself, an all but inpossible task, given the enmity of the relatives of the men Jason has killed. But Arty won't leave; he refuses ever to give up.
