Clay Blackwell, also known as Cactus Black, is what some lawmen might call a fugitive. A little while back, ol' Cactus took to the road for preservation of his own life. Back in Las Cruces, his old hometown, he took the life of a man that he found in bed with his wife. Unfortunately, that man turned out to be the sheriff's only son.
