The story begins when schoolteacher Ichabod Crane arrives in the quaint town of Sleepy Hollow. There, he discovers his predecessor was driven mad by evil spirits. Not one to believe in ghosts, Ichabod takes a personal interest in the "Headless Horseman" who terrorizes the townspeople with his midnight runs. In one hair-raising encounter after another, Ichabod meets the demon head-on (so to speak) and discovers the truth behind the legend. The timid teacher is soon transformed from laughing-stock to town hero in this gothic tale of early America.

A series of interweaving stories tell the journey of a handgun—specifically, a long-barreled revolver with a blue-steel finish, whose caliber is not specified—as it passes from one owner to another. Some of these owners are lawless; others are law-abiding and, indeed, law enforcers. But in all the time it passes between its various owners, it is never actually fired (aside from the one test-firing it underwent at the factory) and is never shown actually to discharge any ammunition.
