Hired on as a security man aboard LA's first railroad to the San Pedro harbor, young Llano suspects a stolen shipment of secret U.S. Army Winchesters is being smuggled overseas. A kingpin of crime in his day, Rupert Harvey aims to profit twice from the stolen firearms--a plan that Llano and his partner must follow, always one step behind until an old friend shows up hunting a lost heir to a valuable Spanish land grant. Will the sophistication of organized smuggling on a Los Angeles wharf outdo the Llano Kid? Is the witty small-town gunslinger out of his league? Climb aboard the San Pedro Line of the 1870s and ride the rails with Llano as he steams toward danger in a town of unbridled power and corruption. Suspense and drama, down to the last gunman!.
