Description: Steve Hardie arrives in Cripple Creek and becomes involved in a scuffle with a bunch of drunken cowpokes. Bravely, he saves the life of the local sheriff, but accidentally kills one of the cowboys. Nobody kills one of Hyram Slade's men and lives, so he rides out of town. Only Hardie's death will satisfy Slade and he quickly leads his hired henchmen in pursuit. And, in a close confrontation with Slade, death beckons Steve. Can he survive another day?
