"Edge arrives in Carroll County, Nebraska, where posters are displayed asking people to vote for the mayor and town council of a neighboring town. Caught in a sudden rainstorm, the half-breed takes shelter in a building where he meets a young couple - Laura and Dan Warren - who are on the run from a posse sent after them by the town's sheriff, Gene Stanton. They begin to tell Edge about the crooked election when shots explode and three deputies ride up. The Warrens kill one man and steal the horses. Edge claims a mount and they all leave for election headquarters. Once there, Edge learns that there is much bad feeling about the upcoming election, in which Stanton hopes to win control of the town and county by ensuring that his cronies win all the offices. The sheriff has banned all citizens from carrying guns, but is bringing in extra deputies - hired gunslingers! All kinds of wild promises are being made to persuade the townfolk to vote for Stanton's men. And if the scheme works - the town is doomed!" >> This is a reading copy.
