On the train they meet Harry Briscoe, who's now fired from Bannerman Detectives Inc. But when the posse telegraphs ahead, Heyes quickly reinstates Harry - and the boys become his prisoners. The sheriff doesn't buy it though, and sends a deputy along with them to make sure they get to Wyoming. Harry manages to fool the deputy into believing that the Devil's hole gang is after them, and makes the deputy the decoy, while he and his two prisoners take another route. Soon, the Kid's newly requisitioned horse is hurt, and they have to board a train again. Unfortunally the train heads back to the town they came from, so Heyes and the Kid decide to jump off the train to wait for Harry, who thinks that the sheriff might be fooled by the same trick twice...

Archer's attempt to get away fails, leaving it up to Heyes and The Kid to repeatedly distract the marksman while Archer's missus goes for help. - The McCreedy Feud
E3The McCreedy FeudHeyes and the Kid have been promised $500 if they arrange a meeting between ""Big Mac"" MacCreedy and his longtime competitor, Armendariz, in order to end the feud. Instead they are captured by Armendariz' men and driven off his land. But Heyes has gotten the brilliant idea of trying to use the sister to get to Armendariz, so he and the Kid tells Big Mac of all her beauty. Big Mac falls for their story and is prepared to give them $5000 if they settle the whole business. They return to Armendariz' ranch and try to sell her on the idea as well, but she doesn't seem to buy it. They're once again driven off Armendariz' land. Heyes encourages the Kid to have some faith, but when they sneak back in to talk to the sister, they are captured - to be brought to the border the next day.

The Kid fears that it won't be so easy to make Big Mac pretend that he's catholic - but when they tel - The Ten Days That Shook Kid Curry
E7The Ten Days That Shook Kid CurryWhen the Kid travels alone and seems destined to be thrown in jail for not having enough money to pay for his drink, a mild-mannered female teacher rescues him. But as he tries to return the favour, the Kid is kidnapped. Soon Heyes comes to town, and puts together what happens to the Kid. But the teacher won't talk - not until Heyes uses his charms on her. Only then will he find out the real reason for the kidnapping. - The Day the Amnesty Came Through
E8The Day the Amnesty Came ThroughHeyes and Curry get a telegram from Wyoming sheriff Lom Trevors that the Governor has at long last given them amnesty, and rush to meet the sheriff. But the day the amnesty came through is also the day the Governor was removed from office (as a territorial governor, he was appointed by the President -- when the Executive Mansion was occupied by a President of a different party, in this case Grover Cleveland, he appointed one of his own party men to the post). The new Governor, George W. Baxter, is a friend of Trevors and agrees to keep the amnesty on the table, and maybe approve it if the boys will track down his missing daughter. Our heroes succeed, but return to find that Baxter has been removed from office ("Seems he fenced in some Federal land"). Trevors doesn't know the new Governor, Charles Midnight. The last words are a replay of the words spoken in the pilot (and in the opening credits) about the boys keeping their nose clean until the Governor figures they deserve amnesty. A printed crawl over the last shot records the tumultuous history of the Wyoming Territory governors during the period in question. - The Strange Fate of Conrad Meyer Zulick
E9The Strange Fate of Conrad Meyer ZulickAfter the Kid wins another duel (over a man who claimed the Kid was cheating), the boys are contacted and offered a job by a man called ""Doc"" Donovan. They are to come with him into Mexico, to rescue a hostage from Mexicans who only want their rightful money. The Kid senses that Doc knows who they are, but they cannot be certain, and why would he hire them instead of collecting the fee? They manage to sneak out the hostage, Mr Zulick, but are chased by the kidnappers. After a daring stunt, they lose their followers, and Mr Zulick can continue on his journey. Then, Doc turns them over to the sheriff... But where is Mr Zulick headed and why? And why does the sheriff want to let Heyes and the Kid go? - Only Three to a Bed
E12Only Three to a BedThe boys hire on to cut out horses, break them and get them to market before a Big Daddy rancher nearby can claim all the mavericks running the range as his own. In a role reversal of sorts for our heroes, Heyes strikes out miserably talking the talk and playing the cards with a beautiful brunette, while Curry finds a kinship with a very young, very beautiful young blonde lady who is traveling with her very protective older brother.
