Arizona Raines stumbles onto a cattle rustling operation on a remote mesa, capturing the culprits and turning them over to the sheriff—but his troubles are far from over when the prisoners escape and set their sights on revenge.

Hollbeg (Villain, Intro, Death)

Young Johnny Lash, who moonlights as the Whip, uncovers a sinister scheme in Placerville County when a cunning outlaw named Hollbeg begins turning in wanted criminals—all of them conveniently dead. As the bodies pile up and the rewards keep coming, the Whip must find a way to prove that Hollbeg is systematically hunting down desperadoes and executing them for profit, exploiting the "dead or alive" bounties that make his crimes nearly impossible to prosecute. With the sheriff's help, the Whip sets an ingenious trap to catch Hollbeg red-handed and stop his murderous enterprise.
