When "gun-handy" ex-lawman Jack Bonner begins to think about settling down, he's approached by one last offer he can't pass up. Three enterprising businessmen present a plan for him to schedule gunfights--with his opponent paying a fee for the privilege of fighting him! Seems like the perfect plan--good for the town businesses, good for publicity, and good for Jack's pocketbook--if he doesn't meet someone faster than he is. But as time wears on, there's a shift in attitudes all around, and Jack begins to yearn for other things that don't come easy for a CROSSROADS' FAST GUN...

Two Huntsville Prison inmates, Derrick Mulford and Harlan Cole, are released for "time served" in the hopes that they will lead lawmen to a strongbox filled with stolen gold from a robbery that happened many years before. Did the dying prisoner, Charlie Cruppe, accurately confess to them where the gold was hidden? Derrick begins to wonder if tracking down the fortune will be the death of them when he and Harlan are followed and held at gunpoint--are their lives worth finding the sister of the robber for her help? Only she knows the hiding place her brother described. Are they willing to die for CHARLIE'S MONEY?
