Men of Violence [Dramatized Adaptation]
Summary
John Henry Cole had worked for years as a lawman and then as a detective for an agency out of Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was this work that he enjoyed, despite its dangers, that had inspired him to establish his own agency. He gathered ex-lawmen like himself, men he knew and trusted, most of whom he had worked with at one time or another. Cole's agency was located in just about the most dangerous place one could find in Red Pony, in the Cherokee Strip, commonly called No Man's Land because of the rampant outlawry. But, Cole had figured, what better place to hunt for outlaws for the money on their heads? His agency might consist in practice of bounty hunters, but the agency men were in themselves honorable and professional. It was this group that set out to capture the notorious Sam Starr and his outlaw gang. Performed by Terence Aselford, Evan Casey, Michael John Casey, Tony Nam, Ken Jackson, Michael Glenn, Tim Carlin, Richard Rohan, Tim Getman, Andy Brownstein, Patrick Bussink, Tracy Olivera, Thomas Keegan, Steve Wannall, James Konicek, David Coyne, Drew Kopas, Bradley Smith, Paul Reisman, David Jourdan, J W Rone, Yasmin Tuazon, Kimberly Gilbert, Dylan Lynch, Ren Kasey, James Lewis, Elizabeth Jernigan, Nathanial Perry, Nanette Savard, Colleen Delany, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Mort Shelby.

Summary
John Henry Cole's life has quieted down from what it had always been, and he can now settle down and make improvements on his small ranch.

Frontier Justice [Dramatized Adaptation]
Summary
John Henry Cole is an operative of Ike Kelly's Detective Agency, based out of Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. Returning to Cheyenne from what had been a deadly assignment in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, Cole has decided that he has no alternative but to resign from the agency and pursue a different line of work. However, in Cheyenne, Cole learns that Ike Kelly has been murdered and his body burned in a fire that destroyed both the agency office and the shop next door. No one seems to have any idea who might have murdered Kelly, and Leo Foxx, the town marshal, is so disinterested in the crime that he has yet to start an investigation, so Cole must begin his own.

Blood Storm [Dramatized Adaptation]
Summary
Business lately has been deadly for Ike Kelly. Recent unexpected gunplay has left his agency to a single operative. John Henry Cole is that operative. Kelly has received a letter from former lover Lydia Winslow, who operates an escort service in the new mining camp of Deadwood in Dakota Territory. "Three young women have been murdered since they arrived in camp." It is obviously a dangerous assignment, and Cole is advised that he must take every precaution - as if he needed such advice. Deadwood was the scene of the recent murder of the legendary Wild Bill Hickok, and Calamity Jane Canary and Doc Holliday will be among the people Cole will have to regard as potential suspects. Constable Johnny Logan, a fractious, corrupt lawman, and King Fisher, a bounty hunter and old enemy of Cole's, will be among those who will not welcome his arrival in Deadwood. Cole is a lonely man in a lonely profession, and finding a murderer in the wild mining camp could be less of a challenge than simply staying alive. Performed by Terence Aselford, Evan Casey, Thomas Keegan, Colleen Delany, Alyssa Wilmoth, Tim Carlin, Nora Achrati, Richard Cutting, David Jourdan, Dylan Lynch, David Coyne, Richard Rohan, Kimberly Gilbert, Andy Clemence, Michael John Casey, Yasmin Tuazon, Dawn Ursula, Scott McCormick, Drew Kopas, Ren Kasey, Nanette Savard, Michael Glenn, Bradley Smith, Steve Wannall, Jeff Allin, Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey.
