Description

When three friends from the big city of St. Louis go on vacation in the Wild West, they stumble upon a small town of Clayton, New Mexico where things aren't what they seem. Gabe looked around as they walked and noticed the gallows at the end of the street. He saw three men carrying a small body from it and wondered what has happened. Jacob followed his brother's gaze and said, "We better be on our best behavior. It seems that the town follows the law seriously 'round here." But when Gabe is falsely accused of killing a young woman, the judge immediately pass sentence without a proper trial. "Gabriel Jones, this court finds you guilty to first degree murder, to Ms. Fox. I sentence you to death by hangin'." "... That is, if you have enough for my services." "Services?" Jacob wondered. "You mean like bail money?" Judge Marshall nodded a bit and replied, "Somethin' like that. You got four days to come up with one thousand dollars, or your brother here will have a date with our hang man, unless you have it with ya?" Now Jane and Jacob must find a way to save Gabe's life which will take them on an adventure of a life time in the Wild West.
