While evading a posse, Heyes and the Kid meet up with Harry Briscoe, who's been fired from Bannerman Detectives; they help him and themselves by letting Harry "arrest" them before the posse does.

But there is a new player in the game: Armandariz's spinster sister, who is even less friendly than he but who has a deeply religious streak. Heyes and Curry play on that, telling her that McCreedy is a Catholic widower and piling on the soft soap (some of which is actually true). Carlotta, the sister, decides to investigate McCreedy herself. There may be a way out of the feud after all. Guest stars Burl Ives and Cesar Romero.

This is the first of five episodes to deal with the real-life Wyoming Stock Growers Association (WSGA), which led to the Johnson County War of 1892 (and inspired the film Heaven's Gate, which changed many details of the story). A small cattle rancher, who has tangled with WSGA gunmen in the past, comes up behind two bushwhackers, surprises them and shoots them down in their tracks. He claims self-defense, but knows people will call it murder, so asks Smith and Jones to escort him, his wife, his partner and his cattle to Montana where he will be reasonably safe. WSGA "detectives" send out an armed party dedicated to killing the whole lot. When Heyes and the gunman are both critically wounded, Curry goes berserk and blasts away at them until they turn tail. Heyes survives, but the killer dies — and Curry figures out the truth. Now everyone has a moral dilemma.
44	6	"What Happened at the XST?"	Jack Arnold	Roy Huggins	October 28, 1972
An outlaw the boys rode with in Texas got into a little too much hot water, hightailed it north, changed his name and passed himself off as a lawman.

Canton is willing to tolerate Smith and Jones for a while as long as they don't call him by his real name — which they have an annoying habit of doing. Geoffrey Lewis and Eve McVeagh guest star.
45	7	"The Ten Days That Shook Kid Curry"	Edward M. Abroms	Gloryette Clark (teleplay), John Thomas James (story)	November 4, 1972
When the Kid travels alone and seems destined to be thrown in jail for not having enough money to pay for his drink, a mild-mannered female teacher rescues him. But as he tries to return the favor, the Kid is kidnapped. Soon Heyes comes to town, and puts together what happens to the Kid. But the teacher won't talk — not until Heyes uses his charms on her.

But when Heyes and the Kid meet Sheriff Trevors, they find out that the governor has been removed from office. The new governor, however, seems nicer. He promises them amnesty, as soon as they do this one job for him. It seems that his daughter has fallen in love with an outlaw, and Heyes and the Kid must bring her back. The Kid takes it upon himself to charm the daughter, and thus make it easier for them to take her with them. But the Kid hadn't counted on her boyfriend's jealous nature and fast gun...
47	9	"The Strange Fate of Conrad Meyer Zulick"	Richard Bennett	Nicholas E. Baehr (teleplay), John Thomas James (story)	December 2, 1972
Sorrell Booke (best known for portraying Boss Hogg) has the title role, as a mining-company executive who went from Arizona to Old Mexico to try to settle miners' grievances over unpaid wages, only to be taken hostage in his own right by the miners, who hope to use him as a bargaining chip. A mine supervisor has a particular interest in getting Zulick back to Arizona, but won't explain why. It turns out that Zulick is a lot more valuable than anyone suspected, for reasons that are hidden until nearly the last minute. Another surprise comes when the mine detective turns Heyes and Curry over to the sheriff and then refuses the reward on them in Wyoming, allowing the sheriff to set them free, because he is convinced his debt of gratitude is too great.
48	10	"McGuffin"	Alexander Singer	Nicholas E. Baehr (teleplay), John Thomas James (story)	December 9, 1972
Confusion reigns after Heyes and Curry stop to help a wounded man who calls himself McGuffin and asks them to deliver a package of perfect counterfeit $20 plates for him.
49	11	"Witness to a Lynching"	Richard Bennett	Nicholas E. Baehr (teleplay), John Thomas James (story)	December 16, 1972
This episode again delves into Johnson County War territory, albeit less obviously than other episodes. Members of the WSGA have lynched two small ranchers they accused of rustling. Sheriff Trevors hires the boys to get the two surviving witnesses out of Wyoming and into Nebraska. The WSGA sends a sheriff after them with extradition warrants as material witnesses, and offers them a fat bribe if they promise to perjure themselves and say they didn't see the accused killers. The lynching was based on the 1889 hangings of Jim Averill and Ella "Cattle Kate" Watson, whom Michael Cimino would resurrect as the leads of Heaven's Gate.
50	12	"Only Three to a Bed"	Jeffrey Hayden	Richard Morris (teleplay), John Thomas James (story)	January 13, 1973
The boys hire on to cut out horses, break them and get them to market before a Big Daddy rancher nearby can claim all the mavericks running the range as his own. In a role reversal of sorts for our heroes, Heyes strikes out miserably talking the talk and playing the cards with a beautiful brunette, while Curry finds a kinship with a very young, very beautiful and very married young blonde lady.
