Wild Bill Pecos and his companion Nuggets encounter a band of desperados at a sacred Indian pool containing poisoned water.

The two cowboys ultimately drive the desperados away from the location and continue their adventures pursuing cattle rustlers across the Western landscape.

Charley Lord (villain)High Priestess

Wild Bill Pecos finds himself caught between a ruthless outlaw and an ancient curse when Charley Lord robs the assay office and flees toward the Mexican border—only to desecrate a sacred temple and incur the wrath of Ashtor, a god whose worshippers have sworn a deadly vengeance. As mysterious deaths begin to claim the bandits one by one, Wild Bill must race to the temple to confront both the curse and the greed-driven criminal it seems powerless to stop. Can the West's greatest gunman survive when bullets prove useless against an invisible force?

Battles the Killer Wolf!

Lobo, the wolf-boy who's finally finding his place among a Cherokee village, must clear his name when a mysterious killer begins striking down villagers with wolf-like savagery. As suspicion falls on him and he's forced to flee, Lobo must uncover the truth behind the murders before the village's trust in his humanity is lost forever. With the help of his old wolf companion, he sets a trap to expose the real culprit and prove that the most dangerous predators aren't always the ones with fangs.
