When the man known as Dakota first rode across the Kilmire range, he was only passing through Montana, heading for Washington State. But the Kilmire brothers didn't believe him. They thought he was spying on their illegal activities. So the head of the Kilmire clan beat Dakota senseless. Then he was dragged to a stream and left for dead. But the Kilmires had not succeeded in killing Dakota.

All that the vicious clan had succeeded in doing was creating the most angry, determined enemy they had ever known, perhaps the only man around who was willing to take them on and send them off to eternity!
