Albert Brickhouse was a financier who had ruined hundreds of people before fleeing from the United States along with his bodyguard, Victor Torreson — who was wanted for rape and murder. But because they had become naturalised citizens of Mexico they could not be extradited and were able to live openly on their ill-gotten gains.

But life in Juarez was not without problems, for they aroused the hostility of a prominent Mexican bandido and his family, and in an attempt to heal the breach Brickhouse decided to throw a fiesta, and hire extra guns for protection.

Torreson was sent into Texas to arrange matters, and there he met two men who seemed admirably suited to his needs. Comanche Blood was a half-breed, tall, lean and as deadly as his warrior ancestors. The other man was seemingly small and insignificant, but he proved to be a cold-blooded killer. The speed with which he could move and draw a gun had earned him a special name … Rapido Clint!
