Libby Craddock assured her gang of inexperienced young outlaws she had gathered that her plan was simplicity itself and would bring them plenty of money without the need to do any work to get it. All they had to do was stop a stagecoach making for Bent's Ford, remove the rich girl travelling on it and hold her for ransom.
Although Libby and her gang did not know it, there were two very serious snags in the plan.
The girl was Betty Hardin and she was fully capable of taking care of herself.
Even worse than that, waiting for Betty to arrive at Bent's Ford was the Ysabel Kid.
From the Inside Flap
The Ysabel Kid was being followed as he rode the trail back to Rio Hondo Country. The three hombres behind him were robbing cowhands of their cattle-drive pay. And the Kid had been deputized to stop them. Riding out on his lonesome, he intended to bring justice to this lawless land. But another gang was also at work in the Texas hills, and they had snatched the granddaughter of Ole Devil Hardin, the Ysabel Kid's old buckaroo and trail boss, from the local stagecoach. Now the Kid wants more than justice, he wants revenge. His Winchester is at the ready, his bowie knife is sharp and unsheathed, and his eyes are glittering with rage. But he didn't know a criminal mastermind was behind the kidnapping. And he didn't know the varmint was no gentleman. It was a lady gone bad....
