Dramatized Westerns

It’s hard living on the Colorado frontier — especially when you’ve got a bounty on your head. Ever since Cuno Massey killed Vince Evans, the no-good son of wealthy rancher Franklin Evans, men have been hunting his head for its sizeable bounty. Men like the big bear of a bounty hunter, Ruben Pacheca, the most fearsome tracker of them all, who robs and rapes as he hunts. And it’s anyone’s guess whether Cuno’s new love, a sassy outlaw named Marlene, will be his savior or his destruction in beautiful disguise....

Mountain man Joe Fox reluctantly led a group of settlers through the Rockies and into the clutches of Max Starbeau, who traveled with the party until he was able to commit theft and murder and kidnap Joe's girl. Now, Joe Fox is forging a new trail of vengeance!

Cuno Massey is determined to start a new, peaceful life. But when he comes across a prison wagon under attack, he can’t just ride on. A gang of outlaws is hell-bent on granting four hardened convicts an early release, and with two other lawmen down, the marshal is badly outnumbered. Dispensing frontier justice from the barrel of his Colt .45, Cuno does his best to even the odds and keep the murderous animals where they belong — in their cage. But the trail is long, and the gang is relentless. Looks like Cuno has just signed on for the ride of his life.

Steve Mehan had done the impossible: driven a herd of cattle from the Nevada range to California in the dead of winter! To the north the passes were blocked with snow, to the south lay miles of trackless and nearly waterless desert. But now the cattle the five ranchers had entrusted to him were sage. And he was back in time to pay off Jake Hitson, the moneylending rancher who'd stop at nothing to get their land.

It was the first real decision Tom ever made on his own.
