"Blazing Guns on the Santa Fe Trail" introduces Clint Carrigan, a daring and resourceful teamster who works freight wagons on the Santa Fe Trail in the 1840s. Clint carries the big caliber Hawken Rifle and the new Patterson Colt five shot repeating revolver and is ready to face the dangers on the thousand mile trail between Independence Missouri and the western town of Santa Fe. Clint has caught the eye of a beautiful local girl named Maria, but he must complete another round trip delivery to the states and back before he can protect the lovely lady from an arrogant caballero and former beau named Estevan.
