Some men are destined for danger Texas Ranger Tom Bell is simply
tracking a fugitive killer in 1931 when he rides into Kilgore, a
hastily erected shanty town crawling with rough and desperate
men—oil drillers who've come by the thousands in search of work.
The sheriff of the boomtown is overwhelmed and offers no help, nor
are any of the roughnecks inclined to assist the young Ranger in
his search for the wanted man. In fact, it soon becomes apparent
that the lawman's presence has irritated the wrong people, and when
two failed attempts are made on his life, Bell knows he's getting
closer to finding out who is responsible for cheating and murdering
local landowners to access the rich oil fields flowing beneath
their farms. When they ambush him for a third time, they make the
fatal mistake of killing someone close to him and leaving the
Ranger alive. Armed with his trademark 1911 Colt .45 and the
Browning automatic he liberated from a gangster's corpse, Tom Bell
cuts a swath of devastation through the heart of East Texas in
search of the consortium behind the lethal land-grab scheme.

Lyndon B. Johnson is President, "Beatlemania "is in overdrive
and gasoline costs 30 cents a gallon""when Ned Parker retires as
constable in Center Springs, Texas. But his plan to live a quiet
life as a cotton farmer is torpedoed. A phone call leads Ned to a
body in the Red River and into the urgent investigation headed by
his nephew, the newly elected constable Cody Parker. Together they
work to head off a multi-state killing spree that sets northeast
Texas on fire. As the weeks pass, Ned's grandchildren, ten-year-old
Top and his tomboy cousin Pepper, struggle with personal issues
resulting from their traumatic experiences at the Rock Hole only
months before. They now find themselves in the middle of a
nightmare for which no one can prepare. Cody and Deputy John
Washington, the law south of the tracks, follow a lead from their
small community to the long abandoned Cotton Exchange warehouse in
Chisum. Stunned, they find the Exchange packed full of the town's
cast off garbage and riddled with booby-trapped passageways and
dark burrows. Despite Ned's warnings, Cody enters the building and
finds himself relying on his recent military experiences to save
both himself and Big John. Unfortunately, the trail doesn't end
there and the killing spree continues...
