Kid Colt Outlaw #92
Prisoner of the Durado Gang
Kid Colt is waiting in line at the bank when the Durado Gang comes crashing in on their horses to rob the place. When Kid Colt pulls his gun to try and stop them the bank patrons recognize him and think he is the leader of the gang. The leader of the Durado Gang gets behind the Kid and puts a gun to his back. After taking the Kid’s guns he forces the Kid to flee with the gang. Since he has been implicated in the robbery, Kid Colt has no choice but to return with the gang to their cave hideout
Furious with the gang, Kid Colt gives them a good fight but the leader of the Durado’s knocks him out from behind. They put Kid Colt on his horse as they intend on having the Kid front and center when they rob a stagecoach. The gang succeeds in forcing the coach to stop.
While the gang is busy robbing the coach, Kid Colt intentionally falls off his horse and grabs a rock from the ground and throws it at the leader of the gang. The blow causes the outlaw to drop his gun allowing Kid Colt to recover it from the ground. He then quickly disarms and subdues the gang. With the situation back under control, Kid Colt ignores the passenger’s plea to stay, saying the law won’t believe he wasn’t part of the Durado Gang. He’s wrong, unfortunately, as one of the passengers was the state governor who was willing to speak on his behalf.
