Jess is still traveling through the state of Colorado heading back to his home territory of Texas when he finds himself in the town of Wilshire, Colorado, on the hunt for a killer by the name of Bernard Blackstone. He finds him and puts him down, but he has to take the corpse to the next town to turn it in for the bounty. Things take a strange turn when two desperate bounty hunters steal Blackstone’s body at night and take it to Fannin, Colorado, to put in a claim for the bounty, but Jess arrives before they can collect it. The two bounty hunters, down on their luck, inform Jess they know where two brutal killers with a high bounty on their heads are holed up, but they won’t tell him their whereabouts unless he agrees to let them go with him on the hunt. Jess finally agrees and the three of them leave Fannin to hunt for the killers when Shadow suddenly shows up. The trip gets interesting along the way and eventually, Jess meets a wanted gunslinger and gambler who needs to clear his name. Jess leaves the two bounty hunters behind and rides with this man on the hunt for the brothers who can clear his name. Along the way, they discover that they have something in common. They both have a lot of men who want to see them dead and under a dirt blanket, but neither is ready to meet their maker yet, especially Jess.
