Rita Peters

Origin
Bush Peters, having been spurned by Two-Gun Lil when he advances for a kiss, manages to grab a piece of her dress when she pushes him into the street. Later, he and his henchmen discover a scene between Sandy Diamond and Rita. The gang watches surreptitiously as Sandy swears he will go straight, marry Rita, and buy a ranch.

Bush's gang follows Sandy, and Bush kills him. He places the cloth from Two-Gun Lil in Bush's hand. The next morning, he shows Rita the scene, convincing her that Lil killed her paramour and she ought to get revenge.

Rita goes to town with a pistol and tries to shoot Lil. She runs dry of ammo. Lil figures out it was Bush who placed the piece from the dress in Sandy's hand. A cowboy rushes up to tell Lil the bank is being robbed.

Two-Gun Lil goes to the scene, killing Bush's two cohorts. Bush hides behind a door and shoots at her. He misses, and doesn't get a second chance as Lil drops him with a bullet.

Rita apologizes profusely to Two-Gun Lil, saying she wouldn't want to kill the wrong person. Lil says Rita learned a valuable lesson.
