      Bancroft Benson was a con man, glib enough to talk himself into half ownership of a ranch on the Texas side of the Rio Grande. Now that he was an established land owner, he was ready for the next time the Rio Grande changed its course and cut a more southerly path into Mexico.

      When "Slow-Down" Munn, deputy U. S. marshal, arrives one night in the hell-bending copper camp of Laughing Horse, it is with the intention of posing as a drifting smokeroo and hiring out his pistols to Sheriff Loma Jack, who it seems is powerless to check the turbulent stream of killings, robberies and other criminal acts which are swiftly giving his county seat a most unenviable reputation. But hardly has Munn walked his pony the length of the town's main drag when he finds himself a marked man, involved inextricably in a cold-deck game of draw.
