The story
The Phantom Cowboy holds up a stage, when one man pulls his gun, the Phantom Cowboy shoots him, spooking the four horses pulling the stage with a girl still inside. The runaway stage passes Bill Collins and his sidekick, "Ptomaine Pete". Pete says, "That looks like a runaway," Bill replies, "That is a runaway." Bill is able to jump from his horse to one of the horses pulling the stage and meets Ruth Rogers, who is on her way, with her brother Jack to Kansas City to teach school there.
