Nobody knew what cards Walt Parras held in the dirty game going on at the Romero Ranch, but the safest way to avoid surprise was to get rid of Parras fast. So they sent him off to rep for Romero at Madigan's Roman 4 roundup. To "help" him, they assigned a cowhand with a low-slung gun and a killer's grudge. They figured if Madigab's hardcases didn't shoot Parras out of sheeer cussedness, then their own man could backshoot him for certain. What nobody realised was that Parras himself didn't know what his own hand held--and he'd gun-blast the lot of them to find out!
