"Wild Bill Meets the Writers"
Written by Brad Gromelski
Directed by Leslie Joy Coleman

Novelists, magazine writers and journalists converge on Deadwood upon hearing that Wild Bill Hickok is in town. Hoping to prod him with questions and perpetuate his legend, Wild Bill consents to an interview with them collectively. He announces that he has retired from being a peace officer. He plans to win a fortune at the poker tables so that he can soon return to his new wife and begin a new life. He is unaware that he will be assassinated later in the afternoon.

"Calamity Jane talks to Tourists"
Written by Brad Gromelski
Directed by James Hinds-Martel

Calamity Jane visits the grave of Wild Bill Hickok on the 25th Anniversary of his death. The cemetery is crowded with tourists. She tells them stories of his life and spins her own fiction, as well. It is a story of love, of Jane for Wild Bill and of Jane for herself.
