This is the story of two Dixie gangs.  Sam Dixie is making fools of law enforcement through-out Texas robbing banks with tricks like distracting the populace with a medicine wagon parked in front of the bank.  Matt Dixie is Sam's young cousin who is leading a band of young orphans hoping to join up with the gang.

Pete & Dave

Ron's kid brother Clint as Midj

Chad & Joe are assigned to go after the Dixie gang.  To Reese's dismay, he's sent after the people who burglarized the Laredo general store on his night watch.  Erik is already undercover romancing Dixie's girlfriend.

Reese finds the burglars.  They turn out to be the little Dixie gang, who manage to capture Reese.  When Matt gets the location of  Sam Dixie's gang from Sam's girlfriend, Erik follows him.  Chad & Joe have nothing to do except wait for Erik to send them word.

Reese manages to escape but is recaptured when he stops to save Midj from drowning and Sam Dixie shows up.  When Matt returns accompanied by Erik, Sam Dixie tells the kids to get lost.  In the meantime, Chad & Joe are sent to guard the stage with a payroll they mistakenly think the Dixie gang will try for.

The boys use their slingshots to rescue the Rangers.

In the end the little Dixie gang rescues Erik & Reese with their sling shots.  Reese takes the little gang back to Laredo to find homes.

NiteOwl Review:  One of the better episodes of the 2nd season.  One of Neville Brand's better episodes.  He interacted well with children.
