| Hopalong Cassidy stumbled upon the robbed stagecoach just outside of Seven Pines. When Cassidy decided to investigate he realizes the stagecoach robbery is just a part of the tangled web of deceit in the town. Somehow the robbery is also connected to a budding range war between the Rocking R ranch and ruthless John Gore. Cassidy is determined to find the truth and soon realizes that Gore is a mere pawn for an even greater villian - the crazed gunman, Clarry Jacks. To get out of Seven Pines alive, Cassidy needs to stop the range war before it starts and live through a showdown with Jacks. Hopalong will need quick thinking and an even quicker draw. | ||
