Jesse James breaks Jimmy out of jail and forces Jimmy to join his gang. Then Jimmy is ordered to kill three famous lawmen. Although he tries to fail in his assassination attempts, each time he succeeds in killing his target.

When the three lawmen are spotted alive, the gang turns on Jimmy. Superman arrives and rescues Jimmy. The Man of Steel explains that he had arrived earlier and arranged the phony deaths. He also filmed Jimmy’s experience for a movie to be shown at the party.
