"Red Clark had heard Juilos County was "bad, plumb bad," so he had come to nose around and get himself a job. Chock-jam-packed full of bad men, this border country was -- or so he had heard. He hadn't seen any that looked bad; plenty that needed haircuts or sobering up, including the potbellied, red-nosed sheriff himself. Disgusted with what he is seeing, he befriends Zee Hill, a journeymen printer who wants the chance to get out a real paper -- one that will show various characters of that country in their true colors, and get justice for some of the small cattlemen against the greedy range barons. On his first day in Juilos, he accuses Jim Suack of being a horse thief, insults Colonel Joe Dick, and bests Sam Suack in a fight. These are the three biggest men in town that everyone fears and Red is told he needs to leave town before they send someone to kill him. Red is not the kind to run from trouble, especially when he thinks the men are more bullies than true bad men. He manages to find work with a couple who refuse to be driven out by the Suacks. It's only a matter of time before things come to a head. And when they do, Red is determined to see justice served even if no one else will help him."--
