Edward Carnby looked up. An Eagle was visible as it skimmed the light of the moon.

Slaughter Gulch, never had a ghost town been so aptly named! The hot sierra wind blew open the swing door to the old saloon bar...

A scream echoed through the night air... The old Navajo witch doctor was right. Emily Hartwood's life was at risk.

A sudden crack... A Winchester being loaded... Carnby drew his six-shooter... Empty!

The hell of his boot split into pieces. He had to find cartridges... Quickly!

The moon began to cloud over. Carnby rushed out. His shoulder hit against a stone object.

The statue of Jed Stone towered above him. He felt the second bullet tear into his back...

Slowly, he tumbled into the darkness... Alone, Alone in the Dark!

Edward Carnby erhob die Augen. Der Adler schien den Mond zu streifen.

SLAUGHTER GULCH, die tote Stadt, machte ihrem Namen alle Ehre! Der Wind der Sierra ließ die Tür des alten Saloons knarren...

Ein greller Schrei zerriß die Nacht... Der Medizinmann der Navajos hatte recht: Emily Hartwood schwebte in Lebensgefahr.

Ein Klicken... Jemand lud eine Winchester... Carnby zog seinen Colt... Leer!

Krachend zersplitterte der Absatz seines Stiefels. Er mußte unbedingt Patronen auftreiben. Schnell!

Der Mond verhüllt sich. Carnby schnellte vorwärts. Seine Schulter stieß an einem steinernen Sockel.

Die Statue von Jed Stone blickte kühl auf ihn herab. Plötzlich fühlte er eine eisige Hand auf seiner Schulter...

Langsam taumelte er in die Finsternis...
