Resumen del Editor

When hundreds of empty, unmarked whiskey bottles are found on the reservation known as The Indian Nation in Arkansas and Oklahoma, the reservation police are very concerned. Drinking whiskey is against the Native American’s spiritual beliefs and only those who have lost all hope would indulge in.

Concerned with how the whiskey is making its way onto reservation land, Judge Parker, who oversees the Indian Nation, assigns U.S. Marshals Emmet and Jack Youngblood to the task.

Emmet, who is also the head of the reservation police force, utilizes all his manpower to find out how whiskey makes it way onto the reservation, but the investigation stalls. Until a lucky break arises. When Judge Parker sends Jack to Little Rock to pick up a prisoner arrested for murder, the prisoner shot a man named Able Owen in a card game after Owen bragged about trading whiskey for gold to Indians. The prisoner, once married to a Sioux woman, resented Owen’s derogatory language toward Native American’s and shot him.

Emmet and Jack travel to Richmond, Virginia to talk to Owen’s family because the sheriff in Little Rock sent his personal belongings to them. In Richmond, Emmet and Jack discover that Owen was a whisker drummer (salesman) for a large distribution company is Saint Louis and a warehouse in Wichita and that he had a bank deposit key in his possession.

Judge Parker issues a warrant to open the safe deposit box in Little Rock and he, Emmet and Jack are shocked to find a ten pound bag of gold inside. Parker sends Emmet and Jack to the distributor in Saint Louis and warehouse in Wichita. They discover that both the distribution center and warehouse are owned by the same man, J.P. Farnsworth, one of the wealthiest men in the country and a man obsessed with gold. Farnsworth’s plan of trading whiskey for gold on reservations is all the reason needed for a war between Native Americans and the U.S. Army by warriors such as Geronimo, who is in hiding and just waiting for a reason to go to war.

Emmet and Jack visit Farnsworth’s offices in New York City and learn that Farnsworth is traveling the country on his private train. His ambition is to corner the world’s gold supply and he doesn’t care if he starts a bloody war to achieve it.

Emmet and Jack begin a countrywide manhunt for Farnsworth that must end with the apprehension of Farnsworth before war erupts and leads to much needless bloodshed.
