A FRIEND IN NEED

Gunn heads for Plata Butte, right in the heart of Apache country, when he receives a desperate plea for help from Trilla Collins, an old friend of his dead wife. When he arrives at his destination and asks where he can find Trilla, everyone suddenly plays dumb. Gunn wants to know why?
