☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dead Shot," Bart Runnels seeks refuge in the Badlands to escape man-hunters, believing he will be safe there due to his survival skills and supplies. When a man-hunter named Doc Holliday corners him and offers him a chance to surrender peacefully, Bart refuses and attempts to escape by climbing a high peak. However, Doc Holliday and the pursuing lawmen track him down, leading to a confrontation where the Cheyenne Kid intervenes, ultimately resulting in a violent clash between the Native American forces and the pursuers.
When the Cheyenne Kid's tooth troubles bring him to Doc Holliday's makeshift dentist office, he stumbles into something far more complicated than a simple extraction—the legendary gunfighter is using his cover as a dentist to track down the men who framed him for a train robbery and stole a fortune in gold. As the two fastest draws in the West join forces by a fishing hole, they discover the real mastermind behind the theft is still out there, and the danger is far from over. A tale of hidden loot, hidden identities, and the kind of justice only two gunfighters can deliver.
Bart Runnels hides in the Badlands, confident his marksmanship will protect him from the posse hunting him down—but when a violent rainstorm rolls in, his high-peak refuge becomes a dangerous liability. As the hunters close in and nature turns against him, his deadliest weapon proves useless against forces beyond his control.
When a bushwhacker's bullet strikes down Doc Holliday, the Cheyenne Kid discovers that a smooth-talking gambler named Loyd Barto has orchestrated the whole scheme—and made off with a fortune in gold. With Doc recovering from his wound, the two gunmen set their sights on Virginia City, where Barto's running a high-stakes gambling house, ready to settle accounts at the poker table instead of with their six-shooters.
The Cheyenne Kid watches a high-stakes card game turn deadly when a crooked casino owner named Barto schemes to steal the winnings and frame Doc Holliday in the process. With gunmen closing in from all sides, the Kid and his quick-draw partner must outmaneuver Barto's hired guns and prove the truth before anyone gets killed.
When a Cheyenne war chief named Buffalo Head acquires a stockpile of new Winchester rifles and rallies nearly four hundred warriors to wage war against the U.S. Cavalry, the Cheyenne Kid finds himself caught between his blood tribe and his white heritage. Forced to act fast, he seeks the tribe's chief to stop the coming conflict—but facing Buffalo Head's superior numbers and firepower will require more cunning than courage. This western tale tests where true loyalty lies when pride and prejudice threaten to ignite the prairie.
