Deputy Royal Ballou was in New Mexico when the Hall brothers rode into Jacob's Well, so he didn't get to see big, mean, ugly Curly Hall shoot Sheriff Tibbetts dead. And by the time the deputy galloped home, it was too late - the two-bit gunslinger was not only wearing the sheriff's badge, he was in cahoots with every crooked politician in town! Deputy Ballou had a snowball's chance in hell of bringing law and order back to Jacob's Well, but those were the kind of odds he liked. Royal Ballou had an iron backbone, the devil's own luck, and a daring plan to cut that jackleg sheriff down.
