On his way to Arizona, Adam MacLean's old friend Mark Brandeen pays a visit to the offices of the Yellowstone Sentinel and gives Adam a full account of the dramatic happenings down in Arizona, how Brandeen lost his wife, his eye and his badge and found a new home - as proprietor of Hangtree relay station. Mark Brandeen has come a long hard way, with blazing gun and bodies along the trail. His story is a story that has to be told, and Adam Maclean is just the man to tell it.
