Wyatt Earp deals with trouble involving the Buxton Brothers, who have been rustling cattle. Young Tod, the son of a man Earp helped, comes to Earp's office seeking to become his deputy, but Earp discourages him from the gunman's life. A man named Mace Algren files a claim on a desirable piece of land with a fine spring, and when he returns to his cabin, he encounters gunfighter Durango and his men. Wyatt Earp must confront Durango and stop his violent activities before the outlaw brings more trouble to the town.

Contains 5 stories
Badman's Test
6 pp · Western-Frontier

When word reaches the rough town of Loosetooth that Wyatt Earp is coming to clean house, the local boss Slick Egan hatches a plan to run the lawman out before he can even take the badge—starting with a bushwhacker on the trail and escalating to a coordinated street ambush. Earp navigates the gauntlet of violence with cool nerve, but realizes the real answer lies not in his fists or his gun, but in uncovering the wanted men hiding on Egan's payroll and using a ticking ace up his sleeve to force a final reckoning.

A Way to Fight!
5 pp · Western-Frontier

A quick-draw obsessed young man named Tod idolizes Wyatt Earp and abandons his ranch work to become a deputy, convinced his gun skills are all he needs to prove himself. When Wyatt accepts him with a hidden purpose—using Tod as bait to draw out the dangerous Buxton brothers—the boy gets a harsh lesson in what real fighting demands, and discovers that the fastest gun isn't always the answer.

A Slip of the Tongue
2 pp · Western-Frontier

Wyatt Earp springs a trap on two mysterious strangers who ride into Dodge City right after a stagecoach holdup—their casual knowledge of details only the robbers would know gives them away. When the marshal invites them to join his posse to catch the bandits, their careless words reveal far more than they bargained for. A sharp bit of detective work turns a slip of the tongue into the evidence Earp needs.

Trouble Pass
5 pp · Western-Frontier

Mace Algren stakes a land claim at a strategic mountain pass, only to find himself caught between a ruthless rustling gang led by Pfister and a pursuing sheriff's posse—forced to think fast to survive when neither side trusts him. "Trouble Pass" follows a man trying to claim honest ground while everyone around him has violent plans, and the only way out might be to play both sides against each other.

The Nervous Gunman
6 pp · Western-Frontier

A nervous gunslinger called Durango rides into Dodge looking to reclaim his tattered reputation, but Wyatt Earp soon discovers the man's desperation runs deeper than a simple showdown—he's lost his nerve after a humbling defeat and will stop at nothing to prove himself again. When Earp refuses to let gunfights settle scores on Dodge's streets, both Durango and his rival the Cactus Kid are forced to confront what it truly means to face a better man.
