โฆ Synopsis
Slocumโs invited to attend a funeralโhis own.
John Slocum was given two hundred dollars and a ticket to Cheyenne, Wyoming with the promise of employment, but not told what kind of services heโd be rendering. On board the train, heโs forced to defend himself against a badman whoโs clothed like an undertakerโand lucky that Slocum didnโt put him six feet under.
ย
Slocumโs assailant is just one of several gunfighters cryptically known as the Undertakers, who leave their victims flat on their backs with their arms crossed over their chests as if theyโre lying in coffins, and plant crude grave marker crosses behind their heads. Theyโre working for a greedy rancher looking to enlarge his spread over the land belonging to Miss Clarissa Montcalm.
ย
But now the Undertakers face the Angel of Death known as Slocumโฆ
