Rustlers' roost

In a dusty penitentiary where the clang of iron gates drowns out hope, a lean, quick‑witted cowboy named Tex Rowland finds himself behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. A mysterious note slipped to him by the hulking, seasoned trusty Hump Sherrill hints at a hidden danger and a plan to set him up. As Tex studies the almost‑illegible warning, he battles the suspicion of a ruthless warden who seems determined to keep him under strict control. The atmosphere feels tense, the walls echo with whispered conspiracies, and Tex’s sharp mind sharpens for a fight he never asked for.

While the prison reels from a recent violent escape attempt, Tex is summoned to the warden’s office, where a cold stare and the glint of a shotgun barrel raise more questions than answers. The story follows his cautious attempts to untangle the web of false accusations, reluctant alliances, and the looming threat of being framed for something far graver. Listeners are drawn into a gritty Western thriller that balances the stark reality of prison life with the restless spirit of a true cow‑puncher.
