Synopsis: Slocum is on the hunt for revenge—and he's not the kind of man to stop until he gets exactly what he wants.
Slocum’s just ridden into town with a pack of mules, a greenhorn named Tad, and hopes for some healthy compensation. And, he reckons, a soft bed with a lusty gal would suit him just fine. But instead of fillin’ up Slocum’s coffers with gold, the mules’ yella-bellied owner fills Slocum and Tad up with lead—killing the kid.
Forgiveness has never been Slocum’s strong suit—and he declares vengeance on his young friend’s killer. What he doesn’t realize, however, is that this murder involves gold, local politics—and low-down politicians. And a certain lusty young lady with a mind to avenge her father’s murder is only too happy to learn Slocum the way to the killers’ lair, a place they call Whiskey Springs—in exchange for some French lessons from him…
