The people of Dried River Gulch live in fear. Once a great university, this town has been reduced to the rules of the old west. Kill or be killed. Bandits are harassing all the stagecoaches and even the farmers are afraid to go out into their fields. The leader of this community, Norris Dickerson, took action by hiring the Dark Rider to eliminate the bandit threat. The Dark Rider is good at his job, but how can any one man solve the problem that seems to be everywhere? Things escalate as the battle lines are drawn and the bandits form an army. The army is at the gates and the Dark Rider is also on a mission of his own. Can he possibly pull everything together before it is too late? If not, then Dried River Gulch will fall.
