Texas Jack is a legendary hero, a crack shot and a champion of the helpless who gunned down dozens of enemies … in his travelling show and the novels that bear his name! In reality, though, he’s never been west, and has never shot at anyone. So when a government agent asks him to go to Wyoming to face a bloodthirsty maniac, his first reaction is to say no. Yet to preserve his reputation, he eventually takes the job, and leaves with his three co-stars in the show …

Jack and his friends, still attached to Marshal Sykes’ posse, are on their way to Eagle Town to rendezvous with a cavalry detachment. Yet there are still questions marks hanging over his mission. Too many ambushes, too many coincidences … Not to mention that the idea of sending a circus act to fight a deadly bandit remains a preposterous idea to Sykes … and that the presence of the too-beautiful Amy creates tensions between the two teams.
