Duke Benedict had killed Jory Archer in a gunfight six months earlier. Now Jory's brother, Teal, was itching to even the score. But to hedge his bets he took along a bunch of the toughest cutthroats ever to rob a stage or blow a bank safe.
So Duke Benedict decided to get them before they could get him.
What he didn't bank on was the Outlaw Queen Clementine Jones.
Clementine had developed a soft spot for Teal. When he ran out on her, and took some of her best men with him, that affection turned to hate, and a burning desire for revenge.
Suddenly the odds against Benedict went sky-high ... but luckily he had big Hank Brazos to back him, and together they were a veritable two-man army.
War was declared in the desert ghost town called Hardluck. Before it was over, Boot Hill was going to get awful crowded ... and Clementine Jones was going to be dreadful sorry they'd ever tangled!
