In "Purdy vs. the Railroad," Purdy, an outlaw whose ranch was seized and who was forced into outlawry, confronts a railroad that threatens his territory. In the main story "Outlaws of the West," Ranelli's friends betray him to the authorities; after he escapes, they attempt to rob him themselves, but federal agents pursuing Ranelli also close in, leading to a tense confrontation where the criminals must flee together. The feds continue to pursue the old man and Jodey Burke across the desert, ultimately forcing them to surrender rather than face execution.
