Another story follows a young outlaw named Billy who attempts to kidnap a girl named Curley but is thwarted when the sheriff takes custody of Curley and promises to protect him, leading Billy to abandon his plan and flee town. The final tale features a wrestling match in which a character known as "The Purple" competes for a substantial wager, with the outcome determining the settlement of a score between rival parties.
