Federal Deputy Sullivan Hart thinks he has broken the back of the outlaw organization Los Pistoleros after he arrests its leader, J.T. Priest - the man who killed his father.

But just before his trial, Priest escapes from jail, and he's determined to rebuild his criminal empire. Hart knows that if he's ever to put his father's ghost to rest, he must stop the outlaw once and for all.

Only Quick Charlie Sims knows where Priest is planning to meet up with the rest of his gang. And Hart is none too sure he can trust the wily gambler, who has his own debt to settle with Los Pistoleros' leader - and his own interest in the organization. . . .
