Synopsis for "The Unlucky Horseshoe"

Three men break into the Wild West Museum and steal a horseshoe once belonging to Jesse James. There's a rumor that inside the horseshoe is a capsule containing a map to his hidden treasure. There's also a rumor that the horseshoe is unlucky. As they exit the museum they are spotted by Vigilante and Stuff who pursue them. The man holding the horseshoe trips and falls onto the tracks of an approaching elevated train and is killed. The two men grab the horseshoe and board the train while Vigilante and Stuff ride the roof to the next stop. Vigilante tells Stuff the legend of the horseshoe. At the next stop, the men sneak into line at a factory, losing the heroes, until the horseshoe activates a metal detector. The guards and heroes follow. The man with the horseshoe is captured but tosses it to his colleague. Believing the horseshoe is the cause of all the bad luck, the man tries to pitch it into the water by the dock but Vigilante snares it with his lasso. The man flees but is knocked out when the Vigilante throws the horseshoe at him. Back at the museum it is discovered that the capsule actually contains arsenic - it was a suicide pill.
