Catfish Charlie is back! Out of retirement--and into the crossfire--the former Texas Ranger heads into outlaw territory to find a lost stagecoach, a missing deputy, and a desert full of killers... When he's not at the local pond trying to catch an uncatchable catfish named Bubba, "Catfish" Charlie Tuttle can usually be found at the Lone Star Outpost with his old pal Deputy Brazzos and the post's lovely owner Julia Claire. Catfish has a sweet spot for Julia, so he's a little worried when she announces she's taking a stagecoach to Tombstone, Arizona, to visit her sick aunt. The stage runs through some pretty hostile territory, including a treacherous valley loaded with outlaws. Sure enough, his worst fears come true: Julia's stagecoach never makes it to Tombstone... Catfish has to find her--and fast. Even though Arizona is outside his jurisdiction, he saddles up with Brazzos and heads into outlaw country. It's not long before they run into trouble--namely a gang of renegade soldiers from Fort Bowie led by a lunatic, Major Boneyard. Turns out Boneyard hid an arsenal of weapons on Julia's stagecoach, which he plans to sell to the Apaches for a cache of lost gold. When their plan's revealed, the soldiers take Brazzos hostage--leaving Catfish alone, outnumbered, and outgunned. Of course, that won't stop Catfish from trying to rescue his friends. It's time to shoot or cut bait. Even if it leads him across the Mexican border--and into a full-blown war with the legendary El Serpiente, "The Snake" , the deadliest outlaw south of the border. Things look bad. Real bad. But there's more than one legend in Old West. And one of them is a catfish who can't be caught.
