The episode begins violently. Vash is sitting down in a small diner in Inepril City when a group of bandits break in. The bandits open fire and we see Vash laying down in a pool of blood moments later. But all is not as it seems.
You see, Vash was really laying down in a pool of tomato juice that he spilled when he was trying to run away. Vash rises up and takes a toy gun (that fires darts) from a little boy nearby. He fires the dart gun and "kills" every single one of the bandits. The bandits realize how good Vash is and they surrender soon after. Vash makes them take off all their clothes and weaponry before fleeing.
The diner's owners then sit Vash down to treat him for a hearty meal. After a few moments though, the owners pull out guns on Vash, wishing to have their shot at the huge reward. Coming from every direction, almost every resident of the Inepril starts walking toward Vash, intent on collecting the reward.
We cut to Milly and Meryl. They're just outside the city, observing how the people inside are going ballistic over something.
Meanwhile, Vash is running away as best he can.
Milly and Meryl enter the city and talk to the city's mayor. The mayor tells them that they're after Vash's bounty so that they can repair an energy plant that has been in ruins for years. The mayor's face grows dark as footsteps are heard in the distance. It seems the mayor, in a desperate attempt to combat Vash, released the Nebraska Family from prison. The Nebraska Family is made up of a father and a son. The father is an old man while the son is a giant who towers over the town (picture a human Godzilla that's part locomotive). The father rides in one of the son's pockets.
Vash gets captured by being lured into a bar by a group of armed, young women. The women explain to Vash that he has to die in order to save the town's economy. Suddenly, the bar explodes: the Nebraska Family smashed it with one punch. Vash survives though and everyone in the town looks on in shock (especially Meryl who is still unbelieving that the dork she knows so well could really be Vash).
Vash and the Nebraska Family face off. But the old man doesn't want to play fair. He readies his son to launch his hand (it can be shot out like a projectile weapon) at the women who are unconscious from the bar explosion. The hand blasts toward the women and Vash charges and shoots the hand enough that it falls to the ground.
Vash then reveals to the Nebraska Family that he has one bullet remaining in his gun. He fires the bullet with such precision that it immediately topples the giant child of the Family. The old man is stunned and the townspeople gasp. The old man then takes out a gun of his own but surrenders a few seconds later in awe of Vash's skill. The episode ends very importantly: Meryl finally believes that the man before her is really Vash the Stampede. She types up her insurance report.
