Description: Alejandro del Pelado is a convicted murderer, sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. But at his execution things go horribly awry and he escapes to terrorize an unsuspecting town. When a mysterious telegram draws Jim Hannigan and his lovely partner Angela 'Tootie' del Pelado into a twisted plot of kidnapping and revenge, the ex manhunter begins to suspect an old enemy has come back to haunt them. Within hours of their arrival in the former silver boomtown of Widow's Pass they find themselves at the mercy of a masked killer and his deadly cronies - two dandy hardcases and a vicious gypsy - who promise to make this case Hannigan's last.
