New rules were established, and a new generation of bounty hunters came into being. People referred to these bounty hunters as "cowboys".
Meet Spike Spiegel and Jet Black, a drifter and a retired cyborg cop who have started a bounty hunting partnership. In the converted ship The Bebop, Spike and Jet search the galaxy for criminals with bounties on their heads.
