Synopsis

Jack Bell left Elk Horn seven hundred dollars richer after a poker game against Early Philpot. What Jack didn't reckon on was Philpot being such a sore loser and sending a gang of lowlifes into the mountains after him to retrieve his money. Luckily for Jack, a gunfire-triggered avalanche stopped his pursuers — with one dangerous exception.

Delbert Hanks was humiliated after Jack Bell rescued him from a frozen grave and sent him running back to Elk Horn with his tail between his legs. Hanks has woven a web of lies about Bell's prowess as a gunslinger and his thirst for revenge that Early Philpot cannot possibly ignore. With a band of merciless cutthroats eager to finish Bell off, Hanks believes he'll be able to finish the job without even getting his hands dirty — and Jack Bell is willing to put the lot of them to the test . . .
