WHEN THE GOING GETS HARD HIS GUN IS READY FOR ACTION

Heading toward Fort Laramie, Gunn rides into a shoot­out between a band of marauding Sioux and a badly outnumbered group of west-bound settlers. His hot gun blazing, Gunn scatters the war-painted warriors, but not before they snatch eighteen-year-old June Bixby as hostage.

Gunn is primed to shoot off in hot pursuit, but the girl's mother Denna, every bit as beautiful as her daughter, begs Gunn to let her mount up and come with him on the rescue trail. Gunn knows it won't be an easy job with a woman tagging along, and when they attack the Sioux village he shows Denna just how hard it can get. But Denna proves she's an old pro at handling prickly situations, and with the rescue of the saucy young hostage, Gunn's reward comes as a doubly pleasur­able affair.
