"The stakes looked small . . . A whistle-stop town that was about to dwindle into dust, and a junky, narrow railroad in bankruptcy. But they went sky high . . . when a money-grabbing multi-million-dollar railroad stepped in. And when Rainbow Ripley and Grumpy Gibbs took a hand. It was supposed to be a short layover in Lively for Rip and Grumpy, two man-hunters after a pair of small-time bandits. But when they heard about Jeannie, who ran the railroad in town, and the raw deal she was about to get, they couldn't walk away. Hired gunslingers were brought in. A thousand tricks were used. Then the fierce battle took shape between the empire builders and stubborn, hard-fisted men who were dead set on not yielding an inch!"-- Provided by publisher.
