Kid Colt Outlaw
Kid Colt rides into the town of Stockton and finds that the once peaceful town has become a ruined gambling town after the town made it rich in a gold strike. He comes to the aid of a local named Charlie who is kicked out of a saloon by a local tough named Spence and forces him to apologize at gunpoint. The Kid is then asked to meet with the mayor and a group of high profile citizens who ask Kid Colt to help them clear out the gambling houses and help them rebuild their once great town.
Kid Colt comes up with a plan and soon speeches are made and the local miners are convinced to invest their money in the town instead of blowing it all on gambling. All begins to start well until some local men try to stop the mayor, but Kid Colt comes to his aid. The men then return to their boss Frenchie, the owner of the gambling hall. Fed up with Kid Colt's meddling, Frenchie leads his men after the hero. They corner him outside of town, but before they can kill the Kid, the mayor and the locals arrive and force them to surrender. Suddenly, the Kid notices a massive fire in town and mayor Thatcher tells Kid Colt that before they left they set the gambling house on fire, intending to build a school in its place.
