Vash gets dropped off a good distance away from a new town. The driver asks if he really wants to walk all the way and Vash responds to the positive.
Meanwhile, in a bar in the town, Milly and Meryl are sitting down and talking. Near them, a young woman is playing cards. The young woman is having a great time, winning lots of money. She asks if anyone else wants to play her. A rough-looking man states that he will play her on one condition: that they play for her life. (He then takes out a gun.)
In a lonely part of the town, the sheriff (named Stan) informs the wealthy Earl Bolstalk that his daughter is being held hostage at a ransom of $10 million. (His daughter is the young woman we met in the bar who won at cards a lot.) Mr. Bolstalk is furious. All of a sudden, Vash walks by the men.
Vash is wearing headphones and is singing and dancing along to the music. The men try and get him to stop but Vash continues onward. Vash eventually enters the bar where all the people are being held hostage. Upon seeing the robbers inside, he screams and cries for help.
Vash is tied up and says his greeting to Meryl and Milly. Vash then notices the young woman being held hostage and squirms toward her, immediately in love. The robbers beat up on Vash in response and one of the robbers, a crazy guy named Jean, almost shoots the young woman in the head.
Outside of the bar, the sheriff and Mr. Bolstalk have a plan up their sleaves. They have hired a group of bandits to take control of the situations. The bandits are all insane but they're skillful and are willing to do the job for a bit of money.
The bandits storm the bar and take out all the robbers but the leader. They also begin to threaten some other of the hostages and tear the place apart. Vash cuts himself free from his fetters and, with the robbers' leader, they take out all the bandits.
The robber leader then tells the story of how his parents were murdered and their land was stolen by a group of outlaws lead none other than Earl "Grim Reaper" Bolstalk. Vash sympathizes with the leader.
So the robber leader steps out of the bar with the other hostages and challenges Mr. Bolstalk to a duel. The robber leader wins the duel but only shoots Bolstalk in the shoulder, letting him survive. All is not over yet though...
Stan and his men surround everyone and Stan laughs that he is going to kill both Mr. Bolstalk and the robber leader, having harbored a grudge against Bolstalk for the longest time. Vash and Meryl both cooperatively respond to Stan violently. Vash tackles the sheriff while Meryl opens her cloak to reveal she is well armed. Meryl takes out all of Stan's men while Vash knocks Stan to the ground and removes his badge.
