  Return to Blood Creek
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  In Long Corral, Wyoming, the Kenny brothers dig themselves
  
  
  out of the town jail, but Deputy Sheriff Ben Stile runs after them as they
  turn
  
  
  and shoot. At that moment Cal Roney, Pinkerton detective, is riding into town
  
  
  and takes a bullet meant for Stile. He goes down, wounded in the shoulder, and
  
  
  is nursed back to health by Emilia Stile and Doc Dan Heath, who are standing
  
  
  firm against the Kenny brothers, who want to own everything in sight. But in
  
  
  his fever, Cal speaks his real name: one that strikes hatred into the hearts
  of
  
  
  everyone in Long Corral. Only Emilia hears the name, and she tells nobody. But
  
  
  can his secret be kept?
  
  
  
  
  
  When he recovers, Cal vows to help Doc Heath in his struggle
  
  
  to keep the town free of the Kenny gang. But Cal’s secret past catches up with
  
  
  him, leading to a final showdown at Blood Creek.
