"Hotheaded Cable Lockhart is about to beat Bat Masterson at poker for the third night in a row, but the legendary gunslinger wins it all back in one hand. Furious at his defeat, Lockhart storms out of the saloon with everyone worried he'll shoot Masterson. But it's not Bat who's found dead the next morning--it's Cable. And Bat's standing over the body. With Bat locked up in jail, it's up to his old friend Clint Adams to save him from the hangman's noose--and from Cable's brother, who's quick with a gun and hungry for vengeance."--P. [4] of cover.
