Nathan Jericho and his constant companion, Marcus, find themselves in yet another predicament. Marcus is kidnapped and held by a gang of four ruthless bank robbers. Nathan is forced to rob a bank in the town of Prairie Dog in order to save his friend. When three of the four kidnappers shoot down the sheriff of Sandstone Creek in cold blood and leave their fourth partner behind, Nathan finds himself in a race to find and save his friend.
Deputy Dusty Dawson of Sandstone Creek is forced by some of the town's businessmen to form a posse to go after Nathan Jericho and the kidnappers. Finding Nathan and Marcus was easy for the deputy and his posse. Finding a way of a harrowing situation where they find themselves pinned down by fifty warring Cheroyuchi Indians was not so easy.
With most of the posse dead, Nathan and Marcus make the promise to the Deputy to find the kidnappers and the bank's missing money and return them all to Sandstone Creek. And, Jericho and Marcus almost lose their lives to keep that promise.
