He was on the point of croaking, but not even Satanas wanted to have anything to do with a nasty fellow like him, and now he is brooding over vengeance! El Carnicero, with the help of his new little friend, Zelda, of the evil card dealer, Strasberg, and of the hired ruffian, Sheldon, recruits a band of desperados and has Kit Willer and Tiger Jack kidnapped! Following the clear tracks of the kidnapping, cunningly disseminated by El Carnicero’s hangers-on, even Tex and Carson fall into a trap and only Aquila della Notte manages to avoid it! And while the pards rot in humid cells in the cellars of Balder’s ranch, Willer’s investigations begin again in Gallup.
