Speedy probably had a last name, but no person knows it--a son, a loafer, a drifter, a tramp. He does not usually use a gun, although in "Nighthawk Trail" he does, but it is only a more elaborate illusion. Speedy is undoubtedly one of the very most dangerous men in the West. The thing of his quest is to find the great horse Nighthawk, bought for $7,000 by old Joshua Crane. The thing is that Nighthawk is in the possession of the notorious outlaw, Vincente Bardillo, across the border in Mexico, in what amounts to a armed fortress, with the horse guarded at all times. Bob Nelson in "The Vamp's Bandit" began as merely a rowdy ranch hand, but he stepped in the line, and started out robbing, such as the night he organized the stage in Porter's Pass. Bart Chambers, the rancher for whom Bob Nelson once worked, feels this turn into outlawry is only high spirits gone wrong. Despite his thievery, Bob can elude police, but Chambers is convinced that there surely is one trap that will catch Nelson which trap is the often-married but currently single Maybelle Crofter. Men seem to be unable to resist her when she casts her spell, and Chambers wants her to work her charm on Bob Nelson. He expected Bob Nelson to fall for the bait, but what he didn't think possible is what goes on: Maybelle finds herself actually in love with the bandit. In "Rifle Pass," aging Sheriff Thomas Weller has one significant problem: his son Dick Weller. Dick cannot seem to be to apply himself at anything. Within a desperate attempt to have Dick's courage tested, the sheriff deputizes his son and charges him with the capture of the outlaw Harry Sanford. Initially it appears to be the right solution to the dilemma. Dick sets out to capture Sandord, and he does, but to everyone's surprise and the sheriff's chagrin, he not only lets Sanford go free, but even joins him on the outlaw trail.
