Outlaw Rapido Clint strode into the Texas "chicken ranch" with women on his mind and the Texas Rangers on his trail. Within hours he and his half-breed partner Comanche Blood would be hightailing it across the border, leaving behind a Ranger with a bullet in his chest, and heading for a hot time down Mexico way.

A pair of hardcase drifters provided a bogus alibi. Suddenly it looked like an open-and-shut-case. But nobody figured on the hard-riding vengeance of Company "Z". J.T.

Nobody noticed the little Texan till the trouble began...It was a typical country-house party, though perhaps a touch more decorous than most - perhaps even a tiny bit dull. Then suddenly all hell broke loose. The host was found murdered and the house was bristling with hard men whose methods of extracting information were anything but polite.But nobody bothered about Rapido. And Rapido kept pretty much to himself. In fact the slow-moving, slow-talking Texan seemed remarkably ill-named. That is until danger threatened, and the quiet man, transformed into a deadly fighting machine, treated the English to a showdown worthy of Gunfight at the OK Corral. J.T.
