** "Fool's Gold": Norbert "King Snake" Dautry is a successful ConMan whose ScoundrelCode makes him only target others. Posing as a naive farmer, Dautry buys a salted goldmine from Jack Fleetwood, pretending to discover a rich vein of gold for real, then seemingly allows Fleetwood to trick him into buying back a share of the mine. Aided by his prostitute girlfriend, Dautry tricks Fleetwood into going into debt to raise the money for mining equipment, then tricks the busy Fleetwood into sending him to purchase the equipment. Fleetwood schemes to kill Dautry but discovers that the farm he visited Dautry on was abandoned years ago and that Dautry hasn''t used the money to buy mining equipment. Dautry and his girlfriend board a departing stagecoach, enjoy a drink of champagne, and gloatingly wave goodbye as they leave Fleetwood to the mercy of a cruel LoanShark.
** "Buryin' Sam": [[BewareTheNiceOnes Andrew]] starts out working for shady undertakers Sam Roller and Theodore Claxton, who lecture him for not cutting enough costs in building coffins for their customers. When Sam murders Theodore, Andrew sees through Sam's attempts to make people think his victim just left town. He pretends to be fooled and seeks to profit from the situation instead of alerting the sheriff. He conducts a ScoobyDooHoax to make Sam think Theodore's ghost is seeking revenge. [[FrightDeathtrap This proves to be too much]] for Sam's weak heart, just as Andrew anticipated. Andrew takes over the undertaking business, [[BastardUnderstudy while assuming the personality and methods of his predecessors]], and only his unknowing possession of a cursed gun threatens his new position.

* FanficFuel: The fates of various (usually villainous) characters who take the cursed gun at the end of an episode but no longer have it after the next TimeSkip can be interesting to think about.
* {{Moe}}:
** Leo Sunshine from "The Imposter" is a kindly peddler who is mistaken for a famous lawman. He talks to his horse, encourages the woman he engages in PlatonicProstitution with to follow her dreams, is a bit of a NeatFreak, refuses to seek extra perks from his job, and is nice to another peddler rather than experience AcquiredSituationalNarcissism.
** Peggy from "The Fortune Teller," due to her friendship with the more scholarly Irene and excited facial expressions while she expresses hope that her boyfriend will propose to her.
** Bill from "Wages of Sin" is a considerate GentleGiant who is highly earnest about the work his faith healer boss engages in and turns out to be an AngelUnaware with genuine healing powers of his own.
