A terrible fate awaits Paul Brady, the insatiable orchestrator of the plot against the Golden Well mines, now defeated by Tex – the fate of a mouse! The next fall, in the deep South, Aquila della Notte is given hospitality by Joseph Boone, an old buddy of his with whom he’d shared thousands of adventures. Everything proceeds perfectly until Fred, Joseph’s brother, comes back home half-dead. Suspicion falls on a black man from Hendenson, and a furious group of volunteers gather to capture and lynch him! The ranger has to fight against a whole community to prevent a cursory trial.
