Jackpot ridge

the long version

Jack Bell leaves Elk Horn seven hundred dollars richer after a poker game against Early Philpot. What Jack doesn't reckon on is Philpot being such a sore loser and sending a gang of lowlifes into the mountains after him to get the money back. Luckily for Bell, a gunfire-triggered available stops his pursuers - with one dangerous exception. Delbert Hanks is humiliated after Bell rescues him from a frozen grave and sending him running back to Elk Horn with his tail between his legs. So he weaves a web of lies about Bell's prowess as a gunslinger and his thirst for revenge that early Philpot cannot possibly ignore. Soon Philpot hires a band of merciless cutthroats eager to finish off Bell and Hank believes he won't even have to get his hands dirty.
