The story is set in a rugged frontier town, focusing on Sheriff Brick Davidson, whose competence is put to the test as a wave of robberies plagues Sun Dog County. The opening portion introduces readers to Brick and his colleagues, including his deputy Harp Harris, as they confront the challenges of law enforcement in a lawless environment dominated by crime.
