AN UNLIKELY PAIR
Bob Roberts fancies himself the town dandy. But any money Roberts has is from crooked gambling and petty cons. His latest scheme is to get his hands on an assayer's report about a possible strike in the area. If Roberts can make the claim first, he'll be rich! But he can't steal the letter in town, so he goes out to lie in wait along the mail route...in the middle of hostile Indian territory.
Old Man Duggan describes himself as the bravest, fiercest enemy the Apaches have ever seen. But to the rest of Gila City, Duggan is nothing more than a drunkard whose glory days--if there were any--are long past. To prove his claims, he volunteers to deliver the mail across the dangerous ground, taking only a bottle for company. When bloodthirsty Apaches attack the mail run, Duggan and Roberts have no choice but to team up in a desperate fight for their lives.
