In this sequel to Coastal Del Rey, Spence Pierce heads for Texas where he is going to start a horse ranch. Here in this hostile land, he confronts Indians, Comancheros, and the elements as he struggles to make a living, first as a railroad guide, and then as one of the proud Texas Rangers. Raiding Comanches, bank robbers and a mysterious auburn-haired woman keep Spence more than occupied as he performs his duties and tries to prevent all the settlers in the grim area known as Mesa De Lagrimas, the Plateau of Tears, from being wiped out.
