The story of an outlaw on the run, the girl he meets in the desert, and the posse that's chasing him -- led by his best friend. Swede Burdette is a legend in Texas -- as a Texas Ranger, soldier, Indian fighter. Things went bad while he was away at the war, though, and when he came back, he turned outlaw. John Kirby is a Texas Ranger who always brings in his man, usually dead. When Swede robs the bank in Temperance, Kirby leads the posse that goes after him. Kirby was Swede's boyhood friend, but now he's vowed to put an end to Swede's depredations. He also married the woman Swede loved. Swede is on the run to Mexico when he encounters a girl named Rosie, a prostitute, the only survivor of an Indian raid. If Swede leaves Rosie in the desert, she'll die, so he takes her with him, even though she'll slow him down enough that the posse is bound to catch him . . .
