- A cursed revolver bedevils the lives of a variety of owners.
- It is only a gun - not a common gun but its mystery is not the unusual manufacture but the fact that it is a dead man's gun. Three stories follow the fate of successive holders of this haunted weapon. The Great McDonacle is a second-rate trick shot artist; in his hands the gun cannot miss even the most difficult shots, but doesn't make him quite fast enough. Jack Fleetwood steals the gun from its sleeping owner; he can salt a mine with it and cheat an honest farmer by convincing him to buy this worthless mine, but the con man can be conned. Cole finds the gun on a skeleton; a fast draw becomes a reality, but tragedy comes to his brother. At the end, the gun is returned to the skeleton, waiting for its next victim.—Bruce Cameron <dumarest@midcoast.com>
- The first three episodes of the TV series of the same name: "The Great McDonacle", "Fool's Gold", and "My Brother's Keeper". From the title sequence: "In the American West, a gun touched by evil, passed from hand to hand, changing the lives of all who possessed it. Its origin unknown, its dark legend grew, until it came to be known as, the Dead Man's Gun." Of the people possess the gun, the bad usually die, the good usually benefit, but they all learn a lesson.—Bruce A. Johnson <Bruce@BruceJohnson.ca>
