Synopsis:
Twin brothers Walt and Wayne Trigger were born in 1839. As they grew up, Walt was more outgoing and adventurous. Both brothers joined the Yankee army during the Civil War. Walt rose through the ranks quickly, but Wayne proved to be an excellent gunfighter. After the war Wayne became a shopkeeper in Rocky City and married. Walt became an adventurer.

Later, the Groton Gang took over Rocky City and killed several sheriffs. When Walt came to town, he was quickly made the sheriff. He stirred up trouble with Groton. To protect his brother, Wayne dressed up like his brother and shot the outlaws. Walt got the credit. The two brothers both played lawman and had many adventures together.
