It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Guts, glory, danger, and sacrifice are all in a day's work for Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security. While investigating a vicious murder on his ranch, Hank finds himself the number one suspect. Resigning in a fit of despair, he heads for the hills to become an outlaw, and a band of ruthless coyotes is happy to teach him the trade. Or are they? They seem to be on his side . . . until they unveil their plan for a raid on Hank's ranch! Hank knows he can't beat them -- will he be forced to join them?
