At Cold Devil, Arizona Ranger Sam Burrack and Federal Marshal Pete Summers apprehend two wanted men-one of whom has posted a ten-thousand-dollar bounty on the lawmen's heads. When Sam is dry gulched and Pete is wounded, a pretty young gypsy and her family nurse the lawmen back to health. Then Sam sets out to recapture his prisoners-and make the town of Cold Devil hotter than hell. The ranger stepped inside the door, his big Colt in hand, his eyes making a quick sweep across the room. "I'm acting Federal Marshal Sam Burrack," he said, loud enough to be heard, but in a calm even voice. "I'm arresting Jack Spain for participating in a stagecoach robbery in Arizona Territory last fall." He paused, his thumb across the hammer of his Colt, ready to cock it. "And I'm U.S. Marshal Pete Summers," said a voice. From against the bar, a young man stepped back to the middle of the floor, swinging a sawed-off shotgun up from under his long riding duster. Looking straight at Ned Rose, Summers asked, "Does everybody understand us?"
