Reprint of the 5th story from
Two-Gun Kid #11
(originally printed as Two-Gun Kid)

The Two-Gun Kid comes across a stage coach being attacked by outlaws and comes to it's rescue, shooting them dead. He checks on the passengers and learns that one of them is a boxer named Lefty Belton who is heading to Julesberg to fight it out with Ox Leach. They find that Lefty has taken a bullet to the arm and his manager realizes that Lefty cannot fight in the match. Lefty laments how he and his girl Helen is waiting for him in town and that they were going to get married after the match. With the coach driver dead, the Two-Gun Kid agrees to help pilot the stage the rest of the way to Julesberg.

They arrive in town to find the locals fighting with each other in the streets. However when Helen arrives she pretends that the Two-Gun Kid is really Lefty in front of the sheriff. The next thing he knows it the Kid is being ushered into a room and asked to put on boxing togs. When the Kid initially refuses the sheriff pulls his gun on him. Suddenly, Helen and Lefty's agent enter the room and to confuse matters worse, Helen then tells them that the man she kissed outside and said was Lefty is not really the man she wishes to marry. Helen explains that they want the Two-Gun Kid to pose as Lefty so that the match can go on and so that Lefty is not forced to forfeit the match.

With no other choice, the Two-Gun Kid agrees to help and goes into the ring posing as Lefty. Two-Gun battles against Ox Leach in the ring and finds that his opponent is fighting for keeps. Eventually the Kid ultimately gains the upper hand, and when he is about to win the match, Ox suddenly takes a bullet fired from the crowd and is killed. In the aftermath, both Helen and the manager reveal that they had placed bets against Lefty in the match, and try to kill Two-Gun Kid in revenge to foiling their plans. The Kid instead shoots the guns out of their hands and then turn the two conspirators over to the sheriff.
