Sundance was riding in the wildest corner of West Texas when he heard tell of a ruthless land baron called Hollis Bannister. As owner of the biggest ranch in the western half of the state, Bannister didn't quite take to the idea of new settlers moving in on his share. Bannister figured things would run smoother if he got rid of the governor and ran the territory his own way. As part of his plan to make himself dictator of the state of West Texas, Bannister hired a slew of gunslinging hard-cases and ex-soldiers to run out anyone opposed to him. That was when Sundance came in as one of Bannister's hired guns, he'd have a good chance of uncovering the whole operation – if he didn't get himself killed first.
