After stealing ten thousand dollars in currency, they flee but are pursued by armed townsmen and law enforcement. Butch Cassidy and his wild bunch become involved in the confrontation, leading to a gunfight in which Cassidy's superior marksmanship proves decisive. The story also features a ranger who identifies one of the town's varmints, Yellow Kessel, by matching a distinctive buffalo-head button design to prove the outlaw's identity and involvement in the robbery.
Jesse James plots an audacious train robbery using a stolen railway switch to derail a Union Pacific express car carrying sixty thousand dollars—a brilliant heist that goes off without a hitch. But when a disgruntled gang member betrays him to the law, Jesse finds himself cornered in Ogallala with his companions jailed and the stolen money in the hands of a rival outlaw. With nothing but his wits and a runaway locomotive at his disposal, Jesse improvises a daring escape and sets a cunning trap to reclaim what was taken.
The Dalton Boys stake everything on a daring raid of the Red Rock Bank, but when Arkansas Tom's meticulously maintained gun fails him at the crucial moment, the robbery spirals into a desperate gunfight against the sheriff and his deputies. As the outlaws scramble to escape with their haul, Tom must survive a deadly chase through town with nothing but a useless weapon and increasingly desperate luck on his side.
Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch ride into Star Valley with guns blazing to rob the bank, making off with a ten-thousand-dollar bill—a prize so grand that Cassidy decides to display it (blood-stained and all) on the wall of Matt Warner's saloon as a monument to their haul. When Sheriff Don Farrell and his posse track them down for a final showdown at the saloon, Cassidy proves why few men are faster with a gun, turning what could be his last stand into a legend whispered across the West.
A Texas Ranger rides into the frontier town of Broken Branch and discovers its blacksmith—a capable young woman named Betty Bell—under attack by a cunning outlaw gang. When the same band begins stealing odd items from around town—metal sheets, tools, hammers—the Ranger must piece together their mysterious scheme before their next bold move. It's a clever game of wits where the lawman must think as craftily as the criminals who've engineered their own advantage.
