The Children of Willow Springs — J.R. Roberts

The Gunsmith 465 Clint Adams stops in Willow Springs, Nebraska to visit his old friend, Sheriff Ed Crown. A small, quiet town where not much happens, soon things change dramatically. After a hotel fire and a deadly bank robbery occur, the outlaws take refuge in the Willow Springs Schoolhouse, holding the children and the teacher hostage. Since the townsfolk offer the sheriff no assistance, it falls to Clint to try to rescue the teacher and the children, and capture the outlaws without any harm coming to a single child.
