After Robin Hood's reading, Jesse James decides to look like him, with one difference: he will play the Robin Hood in a closed circuit and therefore keep the spoils. After smearing the Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma, James and his companions, Franck, his brother, and Cole, his cousin, will go to Texas which will be their forest of Sherwood. Lucky Luke is in charge of evicting them out of Texas, in one of the states where justice demands them. Lucky Luke will be helped by the population of Nothing Gulch, sometimes dull, sometimes brave, but always appealing!
