Kid Colt Outlaw
While walking through town at night, Kid Colt spots a number of horses tied up in front of the Wells Fargo Express and finds it suspicious. Before he can do anything a man attacks him from behind while the rest of his gang blast the front entrance of the Wells Fargo building and steal all the cash inside and escape just as the law shows up. Kid Colt tells the sheriff what happened and while he doesn't know who was responsible tells the lawman that he'd know the man who attacked him when he saw him, noting one of the bystanders quietly slipping away. Kid Colt follows the man outside of town and confronts him, revealing that he knows that he was his attacker by showing a swatch of cloth that he ripped off his attacker's shirt.
Kid Colt learns that the robbers were the Cory gang and the young man he confronted was in on the robbery so he could get into Cory's gang. Suddenly, some of Cory's men surround Kid Colt and take him prisoner. Dykes then roughs up the young man for telling Kid Colt about their planned attack on Slocumville. Kid Colt breaks free and easily knocks out all the outlaws. Seeing how easily he was betrayed the young man agrees to help Kid Colt take down Cory and his gang, easily defeating them by using dynamite in a chasm to blast them into submission. The sheriff and his men then arrived to round up the gang, and the young man confessed to everything, allowing them to take Cory and the rest of his gang prisoner.
