Curly Joe and his henchman walk into Matt Hawk's place of business, demanding he represents his son in court, who is on trial for murder. When Matt refuses, Joe kidnaps him and Nancy Carter.

On the court day, Matt appears late and despite his best efforts, doesn't get Joe's son off. Joe is about to leave to shoot Nancy and Two-Gun Kid, when the latter and Boom Boom burst through the court doors, taking the fight outside and shooting Joe and his henchmen.

Synopsis for "Revenge Rides the Rails!"

Railroad owner Jess Bates hired Two-Gun Kid to stop attacks on his property. Two-Gun Kid arrives just in time to stop the train from falling off a cliff, before it is attacked by Indians. Two-Gun and Bates attack them, with one revealing that a white man had hired them to attack the train. Two-Gun Kid follows horse tracks to a casino in Tucson, and hides round the back. He overhears a conversation between a few men and Duke Barton. He enters the room by kicking the door down and shoots the henchmen as Barton escapes down the stairs. Two-Gun Kid follows him, and trips him up, with both men falling down the stairs. When they land, Two-Gun Kid spots Jess Bates, to which he is surprised. With Two-Gun Kid confused, Duke Barton lunges at Two-Gun Kid and punches him onto a roulette table. Two-Gun Kid fights back and overwhelms him, with the sheriff arriving to take him away.

Reprint of the 6th story from
Kid Colt Outlaw #91

Yancy Hawks spots Kid Colt sleeping one night, and decides he wants to kill him and become the most famous hombre in the West. Hawks decides killing him in his sleep is too easy, and takes the water out of Colt's canteen. The next morning, Colt awakens to find his canteen empty, and realises someone must be trying to kill him. He goes in search of said man, and seeing how weak he looked, Hawks ambushes him. He raises his gun, and Colt pleads for a drop of water, but Hawks ignores him. Colt then cries out for Hawks to look behind him, to which Hawks laughs, believing it to be a trick. But suddenly, a venomous snake jumps out and bites Hawks, killing him. Colt then shoots the snake and stands over Hawks' dead body.
