Jesse James #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Jesse James' Deadliest Deed," Jesse and his brother Billy the Kid rob a bank and flee with stolen money, but their getaway is complicated when a rocket accidentally lands nearby, breaking the saddle strap and causing the money bag to fall into a canyon. As Jesse leads his pursuers through the Sonora Mountains and circles back toward a mule train, Sheriff Peters identifies the gang member Blackjack Carson and alerts the state to capture them. When the bandits attempt to flee on a stagecoach, a shootout ensues; the sheriff is shot and killed, and the surviving bandits scatter, with Red Logan—a smuggler from Mexico—being interrogated by the authorities about his involvement with the gang.
Jesse James rides into Carson City after a long journey from California, only to discover that his brother Frank and Cole Younger have fallen into a devious trap set by cunning schemers who plan to frame them for a bank robbery. Now Jesse must navigate the treacherous Nevada hills, forge an unlikely alliance with a wild stallion named Skyrocket, and uncover the truth before his companions are hanged for a crime they didn't commit.
Jesse James and his companions find themselves on the run from a posse through the Arizona badlands when fate deals them a peculiar hand—a desperate young woman from a stagecoach who's determined enough (and armed enough) to force her way into their gang. As Jesse pieces together a clever scheme to solve her troubles, he juggles evading the law, orchestrating a surprise meeting, and navigating the chaos of frontier romance in this seven-page western adventure from 1951.
When Jesse James rides into New Mexico in 1879 to visit an old friend, he's drawn into an audacious gold heist alongside Billy the Kid—a scheme that quickly spirals into a desperate fight for survival against Mexican lancers and, worse still, Geronimo's Apache warriors. As the two notorious gunfighters race across hostile desert terrain with a fortune in gold and enemies closing in from all sides, Jesse must use every trick of strategy and marksmanship to keep both their scalps and their prize. It's a tale of grit and cunning that tests whether even the fastest guns in the West can outrun their own ambition.
Mesa City's Frontier Day Celebration draws bandits instead of tourists—real gunmen who plan to hijack the reenactment of a famous mine robbery and steal actual gold bullion. Sheriff Ken Peters, participating in the celebration to honor his father's role in the original holdup fifty years prior, discovers the scheme when real bullets start flying, and he must pursue Kid Denver's gang across the border to El Pedro to recover the stolen gold and bring the killers to justice.
