HIS GUN IS HOT AND READY FOR ACTION!

The town of Deadwood needs some fast gunslinging action when Jake O'Toole's gang starts murdering for gold. But it takes the kidnapping of pretty Nancy Venable's pa to start Gunn's ball rolling—although he needs some persuading at first.

Nancy, who knows how to handle a hard man like Gunn, tries to soft-soap him into coming along. The twosome find the trail tough going, but for a veteran plainsman like Gunn who's used to a hand-to-mouth existence, it's just another challenge. And much to Gunn's surprise, Nancy keeps a stiff upper lip—even when sparks start to fly.

Then O'Toole and his hardcases jump the old man's claim, and Gunn's got to pull out his shooter and show them who's boss before enjoying his reward from the gold miner's daughter.
