Matt Cord was a good lawman, unable to stomach the soft line being dealt to the outlaws he risked his life to bring in. He made the mistake of dealing out his own law to one man and found himself branded killer. They took away his badge and threw him in Yuma Pen – until they realized his way was the only way. Then they gave him back his gun and sent him out to deal with the most vicious bunch of killers in the territory.
