Synopsis
Vash the Stampede is a wanted man with a habit of turning entire towns into rubble. The price on his head is a fortune, and his path of destruction reaches across the arid wastelands of a desert planet. Unfortunately, most encounters with the spiky-haired gunslinger don't end well for the bounty hunters who catch up with him; someone almost always gets hurt - and it's never Vash. Oddly enough, for such an infamous fugitive, there's no proof that he's ever taken a life. In fact, he's a pacifist with a doughnut obsession who's more doofus than desperado. There's a whole lot more to him than his reputation lets on - Vash the Stampede definitely ain't your typical outlaw.

Episode 1
The $$60,000,000,000.00 Man
There are many rumors circulating about Vash the Stampede, but few people have actually seen him. Confusion follows as a couple of bounty hunters and two insurance girls separately try to find the real Vash, but only one of the bounty hunters guesses right. The other bounty hunter and the two girls think the first bounty hunter is Vash and even more confusion comes. In the end, the girls can't believe that the real Vash is who he actually is, because he's too nice and silly to match up with the rumors about "Vash the Stampede."
