Storyline

Clay Hardin, a Deputy U.S. Marshal, is about to turn in his badge and take the job as the territory's Indian commissioner until the notorious Ben Thompson slays the marshal when he tried to make an arrest. Clay turns his back on a white-collar job and his girl to pursue the gang. Picking up a bounty hunter and a beautiful half-breed woman along the way, the little band follows the trail into Apache land where the lawman discovers that the outlaws plan to sell repeating rifles to the Indians. Written by David Bassler

Quotes

Aletha: I don't know how I could have ever thought of marrying you. Why, you're nothing but a common gunman yourself!
Clay Hardin: When you get right down to it, Althea, I guess we're all pretty common... one way or the other.
