☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeJesse James and his Dog River Bunch intercept a Union Pacific train carrying gold near the River Flats, but after the holdup, Jesse takes refuge in a widow's home where a man named Hiram arrives demanding payment of a mortgage debt. Jesse gives the widow money to save her home, then rides out on the Helltown Turnpike where he is ambushed by bandits who steal the widow's money. Seeking refuge in an abandoned mine, Jesse and his companion discover quicksand inside and struggle to escape the treacherous pit.
When a ruthless impostor claiming to be Jesse James tears across Missouri leaving a trail of cold-blooded murders, the real outlaw finds himself hunted as a killer and forced to prove his identity by tracking down the false desperado. With his reputation in tatters and a posse on his heels, Jesse teams up with his allies to hunt the imposter to his hideout in Pine Knot Ridge, racing against time to catch him before he strikes again. "Devil's Desperadoes!" pits the legendary bandit against his own twisted shadow in a desperate race for justice and redemption.
When Jesse James' quick draw stops a train robbery cold, the grateful locals mistake him for a hero and pin a sheriff's badge on the mysterious stranger—not knowing they've just sworn in the very outlaw legend wanted across three states. Amused by the irony, Jesse decides to play lawman and prove he's as good at enforcing the law as he is at breaking it, setting a clever trap to finally bring down Turk Momsen and his gang. It's a rollicking tale of a man living a double life in the Nevada frontier, where Jesse discovers that wearing the star might suit him better than he ever expected.
Jesse James and his gang strike the National Bank of Helltown, Kansas, but find themselves trapped between gunfire and forced to scatter across the border country. When Jesse discovers that a ruthless businessman named Hiram Skinner has victimized a widow named Nancy Birdsall by stealing back money she'd rightfully paid him, the outlaw's sense of justice kicks into high gear. With cunning and firepower, Jesse sets out to turn the tables on the miser and protect the helpless woman.
A Texas Ranger rescues a young woman named Joan Brooks from brutal attackers on the road, only to discover she's inherited a cryptic message from her late uncle hinting at a hidden gold vein in an abandoned mine—along with a puzzle involving a top hat and a shovel. As Joan and the Ranger work to uncover the mine's secret, they'll have to contend with sabotage, quicksand, and enemies closer than they realize. With danger mounting at every turn, they race to solve her uncle's riddle before someone else claims the treasure.
