South of Deadwood - Chick is sent to retrieve a captured leader of a deadly gang. Deadwood is way outside of Texas, and Chick must bring him back cross country. The only problem is that the rest of the gang is still at large and gunning for Chick. Louis L'Amour does a 10 minute introduction on the town of Deadwood (South Dakota), and how it was normal to carry a gun for self defense. Closes the intro telling about how the school kids saved their teacher from an assailant because they all carried guns for protection on the long and dangerous path to school.

A Trail To The West - A gang has kidnapped the daughter of a Texas judge to keep him from sentencing one of their own in prison. Chick is sent to retrieve her. Or die trying! This one ends up in Arizona. Louis L'Amour does an introduction on Gunfighters, also talking of chivalry and how it affected women of the west.

Where Buzzards Fly - Chick is sent to investigate a big robbery that has happened in west Texas only to find that the robbers have been murdered (all fourteen of them) and the loot has vanished without a trace. Chick must trail them with his mind and his wile. Louis L'Amour does a 7 minute introduction on Mustangs.
