After his father, the sheriff of Mesa City, was killed while confronting outlaws, Bud decided to dedicate his life to fighting crime and injustice. Two years after his father died, after extensive training, Bud tracked down Slim Corrigan who had killed his father. He used miniature hangman's nooses as his trademark.

He was accompanied by his fierce, 100 pound dog, Flash, whom he raised from a pup.

Bud carries his father's six shooters, and was an excellent shot. He was also an unequaled bronco busting rider and a tough fighter.
