Blood runs thicker than water in the wild west…

Joe Cook’s father, Ben, is dying. His final wish is that his headstrong son, Pete, should return to the Double Ring ranch and claim his inheritance.

But Joe knows all too well that his younger brother is stubborn. Pete stormed out of the ranch after a big argument with his father and he hasn’t been seen since.

Joe isn’t even sure where his brother is.

Following a modest funeral at the ranch, Joe feels it’s his duty to honor his father and track down his brother.

But Mary, Joe’s wife of eight years, is concerned. The badlands of Pecos and New Mexico are dangerous and Joe is heading straight for them.

He enlists the help of Charley Clay, an old Texas Ranger, who agrees to accompany him on his trip. He understands the terrain and the dangers that may be encountered.

However, only a few days into their search, they witness a deadly ride-by shooting.

When the two murders ride off, Charley and Joe desperately try to save the victim.

It turns out he’s the local doctor from Ellistown, and has been chased out of town by Noah Ellis and his men, who likes to think he runs the town.

Unable to save the doctor, Joe and Charley travel on, stopping at a ranch owned by Charley’s long-term friend Ed Felice, who quickly fills them in on how Ellis and his band of men are terrorising the local area.

So follow encounters with Mexicans, as well as the so-called ‘law keepers’ in Ellistown.

Will Joe ever find Pete?

Or will his travels simply land him in more danger?

Filled with deadly shootings and ruthless cowboys, Gunfighters’ Law is an action-packed western that has everything you could want from a classic of the genre.
