Five vignettes. Tarantino style.
First would be Two-Gun Kid. Just sort of a slightly more realistic version of a classic Western tale-- rowdy gang of outlaws are fucking up a town, the hero comes in and stops them.
Next is Rawhide Kid. Starts out with a very old school, corny Western story of the Kid stopping some cattle rustlers, in an old grainy film filter. Then suddenly it zooms out to show it's just a kid reading an illustrated dime novel. Kid asks him what he thinks of it, kid says it sucks and needs more illustrations. We see that Rawhide is now a showman, retired from heroics and trying to sell his story like Buffalo Bill. He's in a traveling Wild West show, but his skills are clearly fading. Some outlaw assholes challenge him to a duel after he boasts, and he wins, ending with him ironically charged for murder.
Kid Colt is next. It's a much grittier, Sergio Leone style, with the character on the run from the law. The whole time he's trying to break an old friend out of prison to save him from the gallows-- at the very end, we find out it was Rawhide.
Then Red Wolf. The only dialogue is some Cheyenne, not subtitled. It visually tells a story of white men offering to buy the tribe's land, them refusing, then the white men massacring the tribe later on. In an extended, violent action scene, Wolf slaughters the men. It's implied he becomes a vigilante.
Finally, we get a very loose adaptation of Blaze of Glory, set years later. John Ostrander gets cut a giant check.
