When Rance Keane and Chaps Shaw set a trap to expose the man they believe killed Jed Osborn, they devise a ghostly ruse—with a sheet-wrapped Osborn himself rising through a window to terrify the culprit in the dark. As Poker Moseby wakes in fright, a strategically placed rope and a coyote's howl set in motion a confession that reveals far more than the conspirators bargained for.
