Rancor Maleficent is one of these men who trade dollars for bodies as he hunts men down for their reward. Assisted by Roberto, this duo of man-hunters travel the California Territories in the late 1800s, taking the law into their own hands, and hunting down men of reckless blood for a living. Rancor, already a legend due to his violent nature, travels along with his humor afflicted accomplice, Roberto Rodriguez, in their quest to trade flesh for cash. Like most bounty hunters, they are looking for an easy way to make a living even if it involves risking their lives in exchange. Or perhaps it is the very nature of the profession that attracts recklessly bold men. The two men are on the hunt for three ex-sheriffs, a four-fingered outlaw and an ex-Texas Ranger. Men who had strayed across the fine gray line between the law and the outlaw. Action, humor, and a good dose of lead makes this new series one of Lingam's best. less
