"''Not all the outlaws of the Old West were hard-riding, fast-shooting, rough-and-ready bad men who lived by their guns and died by them. They were the legend maker's romantic figures of a romantic era, and their crimes were of little consequence compared to the wholesale murder, robbery, and wanton- destruction perpetrated by such men as Jerald Blaze, short, fat, and pompous despite the enormity of his crimes, his prophetic name would have been spurned by legend, had he not had the foresight to meet his poom at the hands of wild Bill Pecos --a name to remember!''"

Wild Bill Pecos and his loyal partner Nuggets Nugent were an unbeatable duo, each with courage and wit. While on a mission to protect a stagecoach, they crossed paths with the masked Calamity Kate. Although Kate tried to hide her identity, Bill noticed her topaz ring and recognized her as Patricia Layne, the strong-willed daughter of the former sheriff. He convinced Kate to embrace the role of heroine of the West, defending the innocent and bringing justice to those who needed it most.

Wild Bill Pecos met historical figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Crazy Horse, and George Armstrong Custer. He became Marshal of Tombstone City.
