Black Diamond becomes caught in a gunfight in an alley when a criminal named Kerrell opens fire, forcing him to take cover and return shots. After the shooting stops, Black Diamond helps the wounded sheriff and discovers that Red Fire, a criminal he thought was dead, may still be alive and responsible for the attack. Black Diamond pursues Red Fire with the help of authorities, eventually tracking him down at a location where Red Fire attempts to escape but is ultimately captured. The issue concludes with Black Diamond reunited with the townspeople, having stopped Red Fire's criminal activities.
