Though he shoots in self-defense, he seems never to have a witness. Then Lem Strickland, his foster father, becomes victim number eight. The well-liked rancher had raised Kurt as his own after the boy's mother, Bess Quillan, was killed. The locals are irate and pursue Kurt, whom they now believe is a cold-blooded murderer. A stranger to Kurt, Bill Stagg has quit his job to help him. And crazy "Lispy Louie" -- who might not be so crazy after all -- has found and hidden Bess's will and other documents that might help Kurt out of the mess he's in ER -
