Leroy Pennington returned from the Civil War and decided to drive to Winnetoon along the way. When he arrived in town, he immediately visited his old friend Woody Combs, who is the sheriff here. Sheriff Combs tells Pennington that the town has a big problem with the Doolin Brothers gang, led by the three Doolin bros. Doolin Gang is made up of 140 men and their job is to attack this town, rob and kill the citizens. Woody stood up to them and shot a couple of men, and when the Doolin brothers found out, they said that there would be retribution in the form of all 140 men storming the town, looting, burning, shooting, robbing and murdering. Woody asked Pennigton for help, Leroy agreed and said he would put together a team of the best men and protect the city. Pennington wrote down 10 names, the list included Willie Hester, Jack Bartlett, Edmund Poole, Jess York, Vernon Jacobson, Vincent Cherry, Oscar Booth, Warren Donovan, Ernest Ballard and Elijah Alford. The Doolins said that doomsday for Winnetoon will occur on the day of the full moon at high noon. Pennington rode the Wild West recruiting members for his team.
