Oltre le linee nemiche

The curtain also falls on Don Benavides, accomplice of the Black Dragon: he dies in his ranch conquered by the pards and the Mexican federals. Some time later, in a saloon in Abilene, Tex meets "Damned" Dick Dayton, his comrade at the time of the Civil War: the two recall their adventures, starting the story when they were simple cowboys. Having saved the herd from the clutches of the Southerners, Dick and Tex helped a Union spy who was being followed by a Confederate patrol. Once the soldier died, the two friends took it upon themselves to bring the precious war information to the Northerners on his behalf.
