N2  - A year ago the Western Development Corporation of Chicago had decided they wanted Jim Bannister's one-man horse ranch to piece out a land title, but he wasn't selling. So the syndicate decided to make an example of him to show what could happen to anyone who dared to stand up against them. They sent some thugs out to force his hand, and when things went awry, they charged him with murder, brought in some top lawyers, and got the verdict they wanted. Jim was sentenced to hang, but thanks to a careless guard, he escaped. Jim Bannister was still on the dodge, still worth $12,000 to the man with guts enough to try to take him to his death. Bannister knew he had to stay out of trouble, but he didn't think that befriending a seventeen-year-old kid would lead him into a trap from which the only way out was a six-gun. But the kid had a nervous trigger finger and then Bannister found himself accused of murder, only this time it was for a killing he hadn't done
