| Leadville, Colorado, April, 1879. The Leadville Post, edited by Jo Hart (Kathleen Crowley), has printed an article describing Bat as a notorious gunfighter, including him with the likes of King Fisher (Jack Lambert). Her distain for Bat stems from his killing Jack Wagner, who Bat explains killed his brother, Ed. Roy Evens (Edward Platt) welcomes Bat to his saloon, hoping Bat will help him shut down the newspaper, which has published negative articles about him, too, but Bat isn't interested in joining forces. Instead, Bat helps Jo distribute her newspaper. Bat learns of a plot by Evens and his henchman Jess Santola (John Cliff) to sabotage the paper and follows Santola out of town. When Fisher arrives with the same intention, to shut down the paper, a gunfight ensues between all of the men and Fisher is shot. Bat captures Evens and takes him to town to confess his plot, which Bat publishes in the paper. Jo asks Bat to stay and work on the paper, but he defers, saying that maybe someday he'd have enough to write about. | |||||||

The explosion bends the key and Luke is unable to free Julie, but tells her he will meet the tumbleweed wagon to free her. On the road to Fort Smith, Bat tries to convince Julie that Luke is an outlaw and is just using her. At a river crossing, Julie asks for a last bath before being taken to the Fort Smith jail. To prevent her escape, Bat takes her clothes. Luke arrives and gives Julie clothes and a gun to get the drop on Bat. Ultimately, Luke shoots Bat. As they effect their escape, Julie realizes Bat was right about Luke. As they stop, Bat appears, having hidden in the back of the wagon and Luke is shot and killed.

| Western Colorado, the 1880s. Bat is headed to the town of Saphhira at the request of Thorn Loomis, who Bat believes is dying. It turns out Thorn is perfectly healthy. The ruse was to get Bat to help Virgil Gardiner (Ray Teal) steal the county records from the town of Bundy. The two towns are in dispute as to which is the county seat. The railroad will go through the county seat, the other will become a ghost town. Gardiner's plan is to have Tobe Pruitt (Dehl Berti) and his men (Chuck Webster, Troy Melton) steal the county records from Bundy, bringing them to Saphhira because wherever the records are will be seen as the county seat. Bat refuses to take a side, even under the persuasion of Gardiner's daughter Sapphira (Joi Lansing). While helping Sheriff Bundy (John Cliff) escape the Wichita Kid (Troy Melton), Bundy breaks his leg. Thorn is made acting sheriff and puts Bat under arrest, to be held in Gardiner's wine cellar. Upon discovering Pruitt's plan is actually to rob the bank while they are stealing the records, Bat tells Sapphira, who let's him free. In Bundy, Thorn and Bat foil Pruitt's plan. Bat sees to it that the records are stored half way between the two towns until the court can decide which town will be the county seat. | |||||||
