"They don't like us and they never will!" had been Mike Vincent's dying words about the Double Diamond outfit, as he entrusted the Big Five sread and his young daughter, Sue, to foreman Link Asbell. And Link quickly found bitter truth in the old man's warning when one of the Big Five hands was burned to death and a nearby rancher was gulched and nearly killed. There was no proof. But just by 'coincidence' both men had stood in the way of a Double Diamond cattle run into the Big Five's coveted Saddleback Hills country. For a man of deeds, dangerous 'coincidence' is as good as proof, especially when the law is hanstrung. So Link Asbell hit the trail to fight fire with lead-slinging fire.
