A fist fight, a mysterious letter, and a dangerous pursuit come
together in a thrilling Western tale. It all begins with a brutal
fight between Jake Barry and Ted Wayne. Jake Barry, the instigator,
demands gun play, but Ted Wayne refuses and settles the matter with
his fists. The beating humiliates Jake Barry and he vows to get
even, this time with guns. Ted doesn't even know why there had to
be a fight at all. Ted's girl, Polly Arnold, witnesses the fight
and starts to have mixed feelings about Ted. Ed Wayne, Ted's father
and owner of the affluent Whippoorwill ranch, refuses to listen to
his son's account of the affair. As far as Ed is concerned, this is
just another in a string of scrapes his son has been in, which are
damaging his son's chances of ever taking over ownership of the
Whippoorwill. In an effort to see Ted redeem himself, Ed sends his
son on a secret mission to the tough town of Rainbow to locate one
Jim Hunter. To help Ted in this quest, his father gives him two
letters of introduction, one to Miles Henseler, owner of The Three
Colors, a gambling resort in Rainbow, and the other to a Mortimer
G. Webb. At The Three Colors, Ted delivers his letter to Henseler,
the contents of which he knows nothing about. Henseler gives Ted
cryptic advice: go to bed and leave the rest to him. When a
somewhat disappointed Ted reaches his hotel, a man that fits the
description of Jim Hunter quickly eludes him. It is the beginning
of what will prove to be a very dangerous pursuit. . . . Skyhorse
