Kid Colt Outlaw #12
Jailbreak in Jack-Knife City!
The Dalton gang attempt to hold up some cattle salesmen after they make a big sale but are sent fleeing by Kid Colt who interrupts the robbery. However, Kid Colt breaks off his chase when the outlaws ride into Jack-Knife City, a town where the local sheriff has made capturing Kid Colt his vendetta. After some consideration, Kid Colt comes up with a plan on dealing with the sheriff and capturing Nate Dalton and his gang. Hiding his guns on Steel, Kid Colt rides into town and allows himself to be arrested by the sheriff without any trouble.
Inside his cell, the Kid finds that one of the bars is loose and pries it open. He then calls Steel and rides past the sheriff as he is telling a tall tale about how he managed to lock up Kid Colt, after Colt put up a big fight. Seeing Colt walking by shocks the sheriff, but he quickly dismisses it as a look-alike believing that Kid Colt is still locked up in his cell. Shortly after, a local warns the sheriff that Nate Dalton and his gang are robbing the bank.
Kid Colt gets there first and wounds Dalton's men, when Dalton tries to get away, the Kid uses a lasso to stop him. The sheriff arrives at the scene to find it deserted and when one of the locals tells him Kid Colt stopped the robbery he and his posse rush back to the jail. Along the way they bid farewell to the Kid Colt "look alike" who is leaving town. At the jail house they find Dalton's gang locked up in Kid Colt's cell with a note from Kid Colt telling them that one of the bars in the window is loose.
