After the brutal murder of their friend and employer, Matt Stone and Spider McCaw are determined to locate an ingeniously hidden outlaw hideout and avenge the savage killing. But they are faced with an almost unsurmountable problem. Every posse that tracked the gang to a mysterious mountain never came back. They simply disappeared. The task of entering the mountains is so dangerous the locals had named the perilous range Death Mountain.
After a running gun battle with the outlaws, Matt and Spider believe they have zeroed in on the hideout. But a terrifying menace in a narrow canyon is capable of stopping anyone who dares enter. Can they survive the treacherous journey and bring the killers to justice?
