And when the itchy-britches missus arrives at his tent to show her appreciation, Pike gets in deeper than he ever expected, especially when the booshway is discovered with a knife in his back. With the stiff fingers of blame pointing at Pike, the big mountain man gets down to rooting out the true killer. And before the convention reaches its climax, Jack Pike'll once again end up on top—in more ways than one!

There he'd stand—Jack Pike—with an angry, slobberin' grizzly right behind him and a hootin', hollerin' band of murderous Blackfoot in front. And when the big mountain man woke shiverin' in an ice-cold sweat, not even the red-hot lovin' ministrations of the buxom beauty Liz Wilkes could ease his troubled mind. Town life wasn't no life for a man of the wilderness—so Jack lit off on a winter buffalo hunt, with the hot and heavin' widow Wilkes comin' along for the ride to keep his fires burnin'. And there in the snow-covered Rockies, his bad dreams came true in the worst way. But when push came to shove, neither man-eatin' critter nor scalp-hungry Redskin was gonna keep a hard man like Mountain Jack Pike from comin' out on top!

Saddlin' up with McConnell, the pair went lookin' to deal out a dose of range justice, hellbent on rightin' a wrong and stopping a full-scale war.
