☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story "Hired Guns" follows Wyatt Earp's search for two men who have sworn to kill him, leading him to a peaceful valley ranching community. There, a wealthy gentleman named J.J. Allardyce has purchased a ranch and hired the would-be assassins as hands, attempting to persuade Wyatt to retire peacefully to the property. A second story, "Quick Riches," depicts young Thomas Connors Galt, a prosperous grocer's son, encountering a Sioux war chief and being given whiskey and guns, leading to a confrontation with Wyatt Earp in the frontier.
Wyatt Earp tracks two gun-running partners, Barney Hoad and Hack Jeeter, who've sworn to kill him and enlisted hired guns—including a band of Modoc Indians—to do the job. When desperation and the oppressive desert heat drive a dying drifter named Cal into their camp seeking work, Hack sees an opportunity: a man with nothing to lose might succeed where others have failed. But Wyatt's calm resolve and quick draw prove more than a match for whatever scheme the traders throw at him.
Wyatt Earp and his brother Morgan trade their guns for a peaceful ranch life, purchasing a sprawling property in a quiet valley from a man named J.J. Allardyce—only to discover the "Paradise" ranch is little more than an arid wasteland. When ambush and betrayal reveal Allardyce's hidden agenda for revenge, the brothers must decide whether the life they've dreamed of is worth fighting for after all.
Thomas Connors Galt comes to the Indian Territories with ambitious plans to build a fortune in the mercantile supply business—but his dealings with a Sioux chief and a duplicitous intermediary named Rand Curtis soon entangle him in a dangerous scheme involving rifles and hidden betrayal. When Curtis and Black Lightning's true intentions become clear, Galt must use his wits and resources to outmaneuver them and turn the tables with help from Major Appling and the cavalry. A shrewd merchant discovers that long-term thinking and honest dealings can transform even the rockiest business relationships into lasting partnerships.
When federal marshal Rollins asks Wyatt Earp to bring in Edgar Hanrahan—a charming, well-liked man hiding a past of murder and theft—Earp rides into Greenwater expecting a straightforward arrest, only to discover the town is completely in Hanrahan's pocket. Stripped of his warrant and facing a hostile marshal and townspeople loyal to the wanted man, Earp must find a way to expose Hanrahan's true nature before the killer's grip on the town becomes absolute. This 1968 tale tests whether a lawman's reputation and resolve can stand against an entire community turned against him.
