Wild Bill Pecos, the marshal of Tombstone City, finally catches the break he needs when he identifies the mysterious gang leader known as the Undertaker—none other than Mike Hantland—during a daring train robbery. But Hantland's twisted sense of justice leads him to bury the lawman alive, leaving Wild Bill fighting for survival in the dark confines of his coffin as the outlaw makes his escape to rob the town bank. Can the two-gun marshal claw his way out of his own grave, or has the Undertaker finally claimed his most famous customer?

With nature itself as his ally, the Wolf Boy must find a way to save both himself and the treasure that means everything to his people.
