Synopsis: Slocum’s on the run from a crazed Comanche…
Slocum signs on to guard a wealthy Comanchero trader for some quick cash—never expecting to get a white squaw in the bargain. The woman was abducted by brutal Comanche Chief Black Horn, who’s only willing to part with her for a very high price—a mess of repeating rifles, to be exact. Slocum and his boss are unwilling to provide the violent tribe with even more dangerous firearms. So they leave without the lady—or so they think. Soon she’s caught up with them, and Slocum’s saddled with the job of finding her a safe place to settle. But just because decent folk won’t sell rifles to the Comanches doesn’t mean no one else will. And on his quest to find safe haven for the blue-eyed runaway, Slocum’s about to cross trails with some very unsavory characters—who just might lead him to lock horns with Black Horn himself.
