When Will Cannon hears that a gang of Young Killers are riding toward Albuquerque, New Mexico, he immediately leaves Santa Fe and takes the train to Albuquerque. This group of teenagers robbed a freight office in Silver City and left two innocent men dead. Will and his brother, Joe Cannon, have several business interests in Albuquerque, so Will enlists the help of Lefty McGill, and they begin the hunt for The Young Killers. Will finds two more young cowboys to help him fight the outlaw gang, and Will and his men prevent a bank robbery in Albuquerque, but many of the Young Killers escape the trap. Some of the Young Killers raid a small ranch, kill the rancher and his wife, and kidnap and abuse the rancher's 14-year-old daughter. Will rescues the young woman, and then Will and his men trail the Young Killers to Las Cruces, then to Mexico before he catches up with the Young Killers, and the final showdown takes place. The Will Cannon Novels are classic western adventure novels.
