(Vash realizing he shouldn't have had his headphones on so loud.)
Cut to a scene of a bald man with a pointy mustache, and another that looks just like him with hair. The bald guy is the town Sheriff named Stan, and the one with hair is not only the richest man in town, but also Stephanie's father. (His name is "Grim Reaper" Bostock.) Stan tells Bostock that the criminal's inside are demanding $$100,000,000 dollars or they'll kill Stephanie and everyone inside. Bostock replies that he'll pay whatever he has too, but fears that once every criminal out in the world hears how much he'll pay for ransom, they'll all come and try to take Stephanie hostage. Stan begins to annouce a plan he has, when Vash walks by humming quietly to himself.
Not realizing theres a hostage situation, Vash walks towards the saloon, chewing gum and listening to his headphones. The criminals open fire, but he dances right through it. It isn't until he walks through the doors of the bar that he realizes somethings wrong. Ingway's gang ties him up, and the people outside count one more hostage. ^-^
Inside the bar, Meryl quietly asks Stephanie if she thinks her Father will pay the ransom. Stephanie loudly declares that her Father will pay any price for her, and the criminals aren't really asking for that much anyway. One of Ingway's gang members, Gene, gets really mad and shoves his gun into Stephanie's mouth. Ingway manages to pull him away before he can do any harm, and warns Stephanie to keep her big mouth closed. As he's walking away, Ingway looks at Gene's gun and realizes somebody shoved gum into it. Meaning it wouldn't of fired even if Gene pulled the trigger. (And who was chewing gum at the start of this episode!? ^-^) Back outside, Stan is introducing Bostock to his "plan." Which is basically to hire a bunch of mutated rebel gunmen who will kill the criminals inside for a lower price then $$100,000,000. (But will also kill themselves and everyone else, except Stephanie.) So, the rebels hide in a truck while Stan yells to Ingway that the money is in the truck that they can also use as a getaway car.
Being the idiots they are, Gene and another criminal go out to the truck to make sure it's "safe." One gets shot in the shoulder, and Gene gets hit by the truck. The mutated rebel's run into the saloon and start shooting up the place. M&M, Stephanie, Ingway, and Vash all take cover behind the bar. One of the rebels shouts for Ingway to stop hiding, while another prepares to shoot the poor innocent bartender. Immedately Vash grabs his gun and has it pointing at the guy's head within 10 seconds. The other rebels urge him to do it, saying they'll all get a bigger cut of the money that way. Vash is about to pull the trigger when he suddenly looks sad, mumbles the word "Rem", and lowers his gun. One of the rebels calls him a dumbass and is about to blow his head off, when he's shot by Ingway. Millie starts using her stungun, and Meryl uses a tiny pistol we later find out is called a Derringer. Defeated, the rebels run off, no one is killed, and everyone else goes outside to see Stan and Grim Reaper Bostock.
Stephanie tells Ingway that he can go as long as he promises to stop. Ingway replies that thats not possible becuz he has a score to settle with Bostock. Seems Mr.Grim Reaper got his name by shooting up a bunch of innocent people some years ago for their land. The huge graveyard on the outskirts of the town is proof of it. Ingway challenges Bostock to a duel and ends up hitting him in the shoulder. (Vash even cries becuz he's so happy Ingway didn't kill Bostock.) Ingway annouces that he's going to turn himself in and comes face to face with Stan's gun. Stan brags how he's going to be in the newspapers for killing the leader of Ingway's "famous" gang. He orders everyone else to throw down there weapons, and they do so. Vash starts giving him a little speech on how it's not nice to kill innocent people, all the while winking at Meryl, and then suddenly leaps on top of Stan. Meryl flips up her cape revealing like 50 Derringer's underneath it, and starts firing. Stan is easily caught, and Vash stands over him and orders him to repeat everything he says exactly. "Repeat after me, this world is made of....THIS WORLD IS MADE OF....Love & Peace!!"
Rating: (Out of 4 stars) While not as funny as episodes 2 and 3, this episode is good enough to get me to watch it like 50 times, but Miss Stephanie's voice is enough to wear on your nerves. ~_-
