Cattle rancher Brad Storm was tracking one of his herd when fate set him within striking distance of a rattlesnake. Bitten and poisoned, he sent the serpent to meet its Maker but then lost consciousness. Saved by a Hopi medicine who believes Brad has inherited the spirit of the snake, he is given a new name -- Sidewinder. Brad doesn't believe in spirits, but when rustlers torch his ranch, steal his cattle, and kidnap his wife, Brad embraces his new identity.
