An anthology featuring multiple Western crime stories. "Lariat Lucy: Mystery of Ghost Ledge" by R. Morton follows Lucy and her fiancé Jim to a remote location where gunshots ring out near Steeple Rock, leading them to investigate mysterious occurrences around the area. Another story involves Wilma West, who becomes entangled in a scheme when a madman gives her an Indian torture and a map leading to buried treasure, which an interested bystander overhears and uses to pursue the wealth. A third story centers on Six-Gun Smith, who encounters a mysterious job posting for "easy money doing light work" at the mayor's office, only to discover the position is actually for a hangman—a role he reluctantly accepts despite moral reservations.

Six-Gun Smith rides into Horseshoe looking for honest work, only to find himself offered easy money as the town's executioner—a job that forces him to confront a troubling question about the man he's been hired to hang. When Smith learns the condemned prisoner may be innocent and Mayor Hale is using the execution to seize land, he must decide whether to collect his hundred dollars or stand up for justice, even if it means making an enemy of the town's ruthless ruler.
