Sam is ready to become sheriff, and with the help of Little Chief (in two-player mode), he seeks to take down wanted criminals! Enemies come out of the woodwork in nearly every 2.5D-perspective screen (some screens are in a side or top-down view, and one entire stage is vertically scrolling on horseback). Once officially sheriff, Sam has a choice of six wanted posters to fulfill, with a seventh unlocked for the finale.
