Synopsis for "The Hidden Gun"
Two-Gun Kid overhears gunfire, and rushes over to check what's happening. He sees a group of bandits trying to rob some men in a cart. Strangely, the men don't seem fazed. Upon further investigation, Two-Gun Kid sees they are also shooting back. One of the men is shot, but fortunately Two-Gun Kid sends the robbers packing and takes the men to Tombstone to recover.
The men arrive in Tombstone, and reveal to Two-Gun that they are wealthy relatives who have inherited a property. Two-Gun realises he'll be dealing with them a lot as lawyer Matt Hawk. However, during the week, one of the men, Count Zamora, starts to develop a crush on Nancy Carter, who is not interested. Throughout the week, Matt becomes more and more agitated by Zamora, eventually snapping, causing Zamora to whack him in the face and Matt to punch back. A fight is about to break out, but Boom Boom restrains Matt and calms him down. Zamora is upset, and challenges Matt to a duel. Matt does not want to reveal himself as Two-Gun Kid, so turns the duel down, but the residents and Eric goad him into it.
The duel is about to start, when Matt is shot by a sniper. He falls to the floor, and the residents grab Zamora, believing him to have set it up. Matt survives, and Zamora is placed in prison. Boom Boom and Sheriff Barton go to see Matt in hospital, discussing possible motives, when Matt realises that as he is in charge of executing the will and handing over the property, maybe someone is trying to take him and Zamora out. Matt discharges himself and suits up as Two-Gun Kid, just as a riot begins to start outside the prison, with the residents wanting to beat up Zamora for putting Matt in hospital.
One of the men involved tries to shoot Two-Gun, and Two-Gun beats him up. The man surrenders, and just as he's about to tell Two-Gun the truth, Two-Gun is once again shot at, this time with him dodging the bullets. He turns around, revealing the shooter to be Eric, the man inheriting the land. Two-Gun reveals that the will was only to be put in place once Zamora had died, so getting both Zamora and the lawyer out the way was necessary to carrying it out as quickly as possible. Eric tries to run away, but trips up on Hans' crutches. Eric is arrested, and the two men drive away, having learnt a man's true nobility lies in their character, not their birthright.

Synopsis for "Hoofbeats of Doom!"
Kid Colt Outlaw #103
Cassidy has an obsession over breaking a wild black stallion to make it his own. He chases it down and corners it when his horse steps in a gopher hole and throws him from the saddle. Cassidy now with a busted leg is in the direct path of a horse stampede coming his way. The black stallion steps in front of the oncoming horses and shifts their charge in the opposite direction. Cassidy is patched up and sees the stallion again only this time he says to an associate that the stallion has earned its freedom and he will only try convince the horse to come with him out of its own free will one day if and when it's ready to do so.
