They were simply trying to find their hideout – Stels McHuay’s hideout – so that they could come up with a plan. McHuay and his gang are ruthless with a simple plan: kidnapping and violating young women. The women’s pleas and cries mean nothing to the gang, not when they can smell the money that the women can bring them. When Samson gets in McHuay’s way, McHuay sees only one way to get what he wants. He must have Samson killed. But Samson has help from the brave though inexperienced sheriff, as well as from a young, feisty lady Avie Hearst.
