Plot and script: Claudio Nizzi Artwork: Fernando Fusco/ Giovanni Ticci Cover: Aurelio Galleppini
Having defeated Manbelas black rebels, the pards discover that Manuel Stingo, Julien de la Rochelles untrustworthy supervisor, has confined the crazy Pierre on the sailing ship Nantucket, waiting to put his diabolical plan into action: the elimination of Julien and the buying up of his properties, thanks to a notarial swindle. With a sudden attack, the rangers eliminate the wicked Stingo and board the ship where the poor madman is hidden. Months later, summoned by Captain Morrow, the pards must confront Pedroza, leader of the desperados who attack the mining towns in southern Arizona.
