We hear there's a wanted train robber on the loose and a bounty hunter on his tail - which is sure to lead to some brouhaha. With shady characters aboard, including the "fastest gun in the east" and a snake oil salesman, it's no surprise when one of 'em ends up with a hole in their chest. Will it be you?
