Description: Jim Payne, Sheriff of Cedar springs, thinks nothing of it when he is asked by his Ma to deliver a letter to his estranged brother Michael. However the trail leads him to Golden Gulch, a dangerous Californian boomtown, high on gold fever and in the tight grip of the ruthless conman, Coleridge Craven, and his henchman, Kid Cassidy. When Jim hands over the letter, he thinks his job is done but it seems Golden Gulch just doesn't want to let him go. An old family feud, a miner's revolt and the murderous intentions of Craven and the Kid are just some of the trials he faces if he ever wants to leave Golden Gulch alive.
