Twin Pines used to be a quiet town. That is before Black Yankee and his gang rode into town. Not long after his arrival, Black Yankee orders the murder of the Sheriff and Twin Pines quickly descends into anarchy. This seems to suit the sheriff’s son, Thorn Tamworth, just fine. Since his father banished him from the town, Thorn has become an outlaw in his own right and wants a share of the town. He wants Black Yankee’s girl, Claire Henderson, too of course, but he can’t seem to break Yankee’s hold over her. If he wants her, he’ll have to find out her secret, But Claire’s a smart girl – she might find out his secret first. For an outlaw, Thorn seems pretty tame. After killing one man in the main saloon, he’s done nothing worth speaking about and Claire becomes suspicious. Will she work out his plans before he gets a chance to pull them off and spill the beans to Black Yankee and his men? And just what was Thorn doing when Claire caught him picking bullets out of the walls of the saloon?
