As accusations of betrayal and violence threaten to tear him from the only people who've shown him kindness, Lobo discovers that belonging may require choosing between two worlds entirely.

Nuggets Nugent accepts a shooting match against the quick-draw bully Rafe Beesly after one too many provocations, but realizes he's badly outmatched—until a dangerous outlaw crashes the contest and forces Nuggets to think fast.

When a wandering gunsmith named Doc Tinker rolls into Tombstone City with his peculiar contraptions—a gun that fires two bullets at once, a delayed-action revolver, and worse—Marshal Wild Bill Pecos and Deputy Nuggets Nugent find themselves trying to contain the chaos as the inventor's trick guns spread through town in the hands of unsuspecting townsfolk. As one mishap piles onto another, an angry mob forms against Doc Tinker, forcing Wild Bill to lock him in jail for his own safety.
