It's the summer of 1921. Woodie Garth and the Mallory family are enjoying a day out on Malibu Beach when the telegram arrives. A former colleague from Woodie's Secret Service days is requesting that the MG&M detectives come to Texas to help solve an old crime.
Thirty-three years prior, there was a bloody shootout at a remote stagecoach stop. three men were left dead, and fifteen-year-old Tommy Humphrey escaped with his life. But was suspected all along of having been the killer. Now the loner survivor has been brought into custody, and he has an unbelievable story. Humphry tells the tale of a stagecoach breakdown, a poker game at the depot, and a ruthless stranger who gunned down the other three men before vanishing in a cloud of dust.
The thing is, Garth's colleague, now a county sheriff of Midland, Texas, tends to believe in Tom Humphrey's innocence. But he needs MG&M to investigate and dig out the facts. If Humphrey is to be believed, the ruthless killer was once hanged from a tree outside the old stage depot, and now the hanged man has come back for revenge.
