Ringo Kid #12
A Price on His Head!
The Ringo Kid and his long time friend Dull Knife spot a man who is surrounded by outlaws who have the drop on him. The Kid and Dull Knife come to the man's rescue, getting the drop on the outlaws and rounding them up. The man explains that they were trying to stop him from reaching Colt City and has the Kid disarm them and send their horses packing. Ringo and Dull Knife then offer to escort the man the rest of the way to Colt City.
That night as they camp out, they split up the watch and soon break camp and sneak off in the middle of the night when Dull Knife spots a posse of lawmen riding through the area. The following morning the man finally recognizes the Ringo Kid. The Kid suddenly stops at a nearby cabin and buys a large amount of food and then brings it to a family in need. Ringo tells the man that he tries to help out those who have trouble getting by.
As they begin to reach Colt City, the trio spot US soldiers heading toward them. Quickly the man hands Ringo a piece of paper and tells him to hide it. As it turns out the man is an Army officer and he tells the soldiers that the two men with him helped him get to Colt City. As the cavalry rides off, Ringo looks at the paper handed to him and realizes that it was a warrant for his arrest.

Finding this strange he decides to backtrack the stage to solve the mystery. The Ringo Kid gets to a nearby canyon when the sheriff of Fargo City and his posse catch up with him. Accusing Ringo of being one of the so-called Phantom Raiders, the Kid is arrested and taken back to town.
In the Fargo City jail, the Ringo Kid is visited by the local US marshal who was a friend of his father and believes that Ringo is innocent. Soon when another stagecoach is robbed, the sheriff lets the Ringo Kid free. Ringo then reunites with his father Cory and the two begin working on a plan to catch the coach robbers.
The next day they intercept the coach and have the riders clear off their cargo. Cory presses on the coach while Ringo follows from the canyons above. Sure enough they catch the Phantom Riders, a group of outlaws who use a pulley rig to drop down from the canyons to rob the coaches and take the riders prisoner. Ringo and his father however have deduced this and have a trap ready and easily capture the crooks and free the imprisoned coach riders.

Taking Pilar to safety, Ringo Kid is asked to bring the golden spur to the monastery in El Quintero and give it to the padre.
