The rest of the town, including his lover, Jane Ford, thinks Mannion's just being his old, stubborn, bloody self—especially when he catches Drago palling around with his daughter, Evangeline, and beats the old killer half to death on Del Norte's main street for all to see. 
 
 
 
Bloody Joe has finally gone too far. The town's powers-that-be believe it's time for Joe to go.

He's going to have to move fast and shoot straight to escape a blood bath . . .
