Sam Remington stirred his gaze on the stagecoach being readied for the run south. For ten years he had been the jehu, the driver between Apache Springs and Springville, but now he was making the trip for the last time, with a new driver at the helm of the Valley Stage Line - a young greenhorn named McElroy. And for the first time in Remingtons ten years with the line there was trouble - trouble occasioned by the presence on board of the venerable Judge J.D. Longwell, a man known as the Hanging Judge by men who walked on the wrong side of the law. And when the most feared of that breed - the Vaughn gang - takes out after the coach dead set on revenge, it falls to Sam Remington to bring the stage to safety through treacherous Skull Pass with all passengers alive. It would take more that a man to succeed - it would take an iron man, an iron jehu. Clearly, Sam Remington was that man.
