Hunt and his men face many perilous journeys in this adventure. Hunt takes his family to the ranch at Hidden Valley to discover it has been invaded by a man and his two hired gun hands. Hunt is forced into a shootout with his family close by. Jewels, Earl, Horse, and Ben travel to Montana territory to try to eliminate a road gang that has killed more than 100 travelers and is growing rich by stealing gold and jewelry. The Virginia City citizens have formed a vigilante committee, unaware that many of their group are responsible for the robberies, including the sheriff. Jewels and the boys return to Denver with a new man, who may make a great U.S. Deputy Marshal, whom they encounter on the return trip to Denver. Meanwhile, Clayton, Jason, Justin, and Bridge head for Las Animas, and while following a band of killers, they are trapped in a deadly ambush that leaves one U.S. Deputy Marshal dead, and the other three are wounded as they fight for survival for five grueling days of 90+ heat. It is up to Hunt’s instincts. He hasn’t heard from Clayton for over a week. What does he do?
