After the strange episode during the bank robbery, and after the deputy sheriff is shot down by someone who mistook him for Tom Sto. rm, Big Tom takes to wearing guns - and that means double-barreled trouble for everyone concerned. Something has happened within the last few days to change the friendly cow town of Cochise into one filled with angry, muttering strangers. It has. c hanged the bank president from a powerful, willing friend into something else, and has made Tam, Tom's gay, handsome, reckless brother, as nervous and skittish as a colt. Tom is the strong son of Mad Tim Storm. He is as much the opposite of Tam. as he can be. The brothers' only links are the affection they bear for pretty Connie Curlew, daughter of a rolling-stone gold prospector. But Tam is his father's son, too, and just because he is, he drags his brother into a rotten mess he couldn. ' t h ave foreseen. A mess which leads to fearful warfare against a mysterious group of land speculators who, for some unknown reason, want the Crazy S ranch, and who want it desperately enough to rob a bank, kill a man, stampede a herd, and finall. y to t ake Big Tom as a prisoner who must die.
