SHERIFF ON A SPOT

In a show of bait-and-switch, Wayne Trigger is dressed up as his brother, Sheriff Walt Trigger, and vice versa. Prior to the story, Walt Trigger, the sheriff of Rocky City, resigned. However, his twin brother Wayne refused to let the resignation through. So, he is dressed up as his brother in order to show the town that the sheriff is still on duty. What Wayne does not know is that Doc Doom is going to arrive on the 3:35 from Pecos, and is gunning for Walt. Dance! Over the course of the Trigger Twins’ history, it’s always been Walt that has gotten credit for Wayne’s bravery. The reason why Walt became sheriff was to prove to himself that he could carry on. Wayne convinces Walt to take back the sheriff’s badge, and Walt agrees. So now Walt, as sheriff, waits for Doc Doom to arrive. And sure enough, Doc Doom comes gunning for the sheriff, but also brings his gang hiding. Wayne, also dressed as sheriff, spies on Doc Doom and finds the ambush. While Wayne takes on the Doc’s men, Walt takes on Doc. Even though the Doc shoots the guns out of Walt’s hands, Walt decks Doc, taking him down in front of town. Both brothers feel accomplished.
