Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the eleventh chapter of The Vigilante. This time, they vigilantly continue with the twelfth.
The Vigilante: “Chapter Twelve: Death Rides the Rails” - 16:54
The Vigilante tumbles off the balcony into a great big fight. At one point, a henchman falls into a fire and lets loose a scream that will haunt me for years to come. Nearly everyone gets away, but The Vigilante manages to take one henchman to the police for questioning.
Greg tells Riley that he suspects Pierce, so they go to his house and sneak around outside. Pierce shoots at them and they reveal themselves. Everything is smoothed over, but Pierce is definitely worried.
Greg leaves Riley because he has yet another date with Betty at Pierce’s Cafe. Is there nowhere else they can go in this town?
Turns out Betty lied about where she got her horseshoes reshod, so X1 is still short some pearls. He’s actually short 20 more pearls than he should be. He lets Silver out of his room and the henchmen find the missing pearls on him. X1 tells the henchmen to take (hi-ho) Silver away and kill him.
As the henchmen escort Silver outside, they bump into Betty and decide to take her too. Stuff and Greg see this happening and follow them.
The henchmen notice they are being followed and try to beat a train to a railroad crossing. They barely make it, but Stuff and Greg’s car gets hit by the train.
Should you watch it, though? The opening fight is amazing and the plot is picking up speed!
