For ten months it had not rained over the famed Bar 10 cattle ranch. With everything tinder dry, a fire was inevitable. Soon the entire eastern side of the huge ranch was engulfed in flames forcing Gene Adams and his trusty riders, Tomahawk and Johnny Puma, to seek help in the notorious Red River valley.

But unknown to the riders of the Bar 10, an evil force had been hired by the enemies of Adams to take over the vast ranch. The dozen ruthless horsemen knew that the raging fire, which was keeping Gene Adams and his men occupied, was the perfect time for them to strike. The Bar 10 was the prize and the invading riders were the Red River Raiders.

In this gripping tale it is always in doubt whether, after all the fire and blood, justice can prevail.
