Though he doesn't know what Terry looks like, Clayton knows his target is living under an assumed name in Bighorn Point, so finding him shouldn't be too hard. But when Marshal Will Durant gives Claytons a week to find his man in a town where everyone knows his deadly purpose, catching the crafty outlaw will be anything but easy....
