In Silver Creek, it seemed that Dan Lawrence had been involved with two successive shooting deaths. So there was little wonder when he panicked and took off for parts unknown. His employer, Hector Morissey, had guaranteed Dan's appearance in court with $10,000, which he now stood to lose. Morissey's detective brother, Ed, went after Dan, risking his life against the bullets of Dan's outlaw associates. But Dan's final determination to do what was right made it all worthwhile.
