This is the episode when Nicholas Wolfwood, the priest, finally shows up. It starts off with Vash and the insurance company girls (along with some survivors of the sand steamer) riding in a bus-like vehicle that is taking them to a nearby town. Vash spots a shiny object in the desert and the people find out that its Nick (his motor cycle broke down). After Nick\'s timely rescue he and Vash start talking, and it turns out that they have a lot in common (they even share some of Vash\'s hilarious facial expressions). When the bus stops for a breather it comes under attack by some quadrupedal killing machines of alien origin. The survivors barely manage to escape with their lives, but it turns out that a little girl whom Nick had befriended was left behind. Vash and Nick go off to rescue her and they soon land up inside an alien spaceship that had crashed on Gunsmoke hundreds of years ago. Nick covers Vash with the silver .45 while Vash wipes out the rest of the bots with his left arm machine gun. Vash manages to shut off the space ship\'s automated production facility while Meryl and Milly work out a timely rescue. After that ordeal, Nick and Milly sit together on the ride home while Vash and Meryl talk.
