Kid Slade, Gunfighter

Kid Slade is called in by governor Anson Clinton to a private meeting with his friend Parker Fenn the president of the Great Western Railroad that is currently building a rail line across the plains. Parker and his secretary Jim Tully explain that the railroad is in trouble due to the fact that they posted a $50,000 bond that the rail construction would reach French Crossing by the end of the month, failure to do so would ruin the company and put it out of business. He explains that the line has been troubled with acts of sabotage, payroll robberies, and rowdy workers getting drunk and fighting. Kid Slade agree to take on the job to be a trouble shooter for the railroad.

Kid uses the fact that his pardon is not well known to his advantage when he pulls into the rail town and goes into the local saloon. His reputation of being an outlaw leads to a fight which catches the attention of King Cabot the owner of the saloon. Cabot invites Slade into his office and offers Kid to join his group that are trying to prevent the railroad from being constructed. The Kid accepts the job and asks who has hired them to do it, but Cabot says it is the biggest stock holder in the Pacific Southwest Railroad. However, soon the rest of the gang comes in and they know about Kid Slade's cover and tell King. With his cover blown, the Kid is quickly subdued and left tied to a chair while the gang goes out to celebrate before killing him. However Kid Slade breaks free and easily subdues the gang while their guard is down. When Parker and Jim Tully arrive at the scene, Kid Slade reveals that Tully was the man who hired King Cabot and his gang, as he was the only other person present in the meeting to know about Kid Slade's double identity. When Tully ties to pull a gun on Slade, the cross-draw wizard is easily able to disarm the elderly Tully and take him into custody. Thanks to Slade, the railroad is completed before the end of the bond deadline.

Kid Slade, Gunfighter

Kid Slade happens upon a wagon under attack by a gang of outlaws and comes to its aid, sending the outlaws fleeing when they find themselves out gunned by Slade. Questioning the coach driver, he is surprised to learn that there are no valuables on board, just passengers. Inside he finds an even greater surprise, is a man who bares a striking resemblance to him. Helen, the other passenger explains that her brother Vance is heading to Elkville to claim the ranch of their late uncle Will. After the experience with the shooters, the two easterners want nothing more to do than claim the ranch and sell it and return home. However Vance was wounded in the shoot out and passes out from his injuries. As Vance and Helen need the money desperately, and since Kid Slade looks remarkably like Vance, he agrees to pose as Vance in order to claim the property on their behalf before the due date to claim passes that afternoon.

After switching clothing with Vance, they pull into town and put him in bed at the nearby hotel where a doctor is called. The Kid then tries to make his way across the street to the lawyers office for the reading of the will. However as he is crossing the street, he is attacked by some men on horseback who try to keep him from getting across the road. Although he manages to break free, Kid Slade is forced to pull back into the hotel. There he is told by the doctor that Vance is well enough to go to the will reading himself. The Kid then comes up with a solution to getting Vance to the will reading without interference. Going out the front door, Kid Slade keeps the outlaws busy long enough for Vance to slip out the back and make it to the lawyer's office.

Kid Slade roughs up the gang and then takes their leader prisoner to learn what they are up to. He then bursts in on the will reading and exposes the truth: Will's business partner Judd Course put a clause in the will stating that he get the property if Vance didn't claim it before a certain time and purposely sent the outlaws after him to prevent him from arriving on time. When Judd tries to pull a gun, Kid Slade is the faster draw and takes him prisoner.
