A viper in his bosom: that is what the rich ranchero “King” Chris Mac Kennet has raised, spoiling his son Red too much, a coward who plunders his father’s livestock, resorting to the vile services of the Carleton band. The evil supervisor, Bull Hocker, is Red’s accomplice, interested in the master’s daughter, the beautiful Loren: the two wicked ones nail the innocent Jim Mander, the brat of a rival family and Loren’s fiancé, and have him sent to the lock-up. But Tex establishes justice. Meanwhile, a throng of rebel Comanches, led by the mysterious Mano di Ferro, spreads panic along the Rio Bravo...
