Synopsis:
Greg Sanders takes a vacation in the small West Virginia town Rimfire Ridge. Stuff follows Greg on the train and runs across three gangsters. They try to kill him after Stuff hears their plans. Stuff survives and is found by a local couple.

Meanwhile the crooks kill Jack Standish in order to start a feud. Jack's nephew Dave suspects Tom Hatton is the killer and begins to take revenge.

Stuff recovers and warns Vigilante. They track down Dave to stop him from killing Hatton. They then track down and capture the crooks. The crooks wanted to start a feud in order to buy the land cheaply once they discovered a gold vein.
