Sham Sheriff Walt Trigger continues to insist Storekeeper Wayne should get credit of keeping the law, but Wayne insists he's a legend and they work better in secret. Walt even tries to resign, but a boy runs up says all the kids want to grow up like him. The brothers recall escaping quicksand and shooting an ambusher. Now Doc Doom arrives on the train to kill the Sheriff. While Wayne thumps Doom's cronies, Sheriff Walt faces down the killer until he's close enough for a solid punch. And the kids are thrilled!
