Case closed? Maybe not... The faded beauty Kate, a “sponge in a skirt” who is a habituée of the Parisian Saloon in Elk City, becomes an intimate friend of ranger Burt Keller and confides to Tex that her beloved – who died in mysterious circumstances during an incognito investigation – wasn’t only tracking the thefts of silver committed against the Central Mining company, but was also on the trail of the hucksters who peddled the gut-racking hooch, poisoners of Indians! So Tex resorts to a stratagem thought up with the aid of the Native American Kendo: he gets himself hired as a gunslinger by the Nelson family, a sordid family of bootleggers.
