My recommendations for Marshals:
Law Dogs (details shootin' irons and heroes and villians)
Rascals, Varmints & Critters I & II (details the ornery abominations
stalkin' the west)

Those are the basics. You can create any adventure with a few beasties,
desperadoes and the main rule books. However, a more detailed scenario
awaits in:

City o' Gloom (boxed set with Salt Lake City and weird science)
The Great Maze (boxed set with California, ghost rock and kung fu
powers)
River o' Blood (boxed set detailing the Mississippi region)
South o' the Border (the Mexican sourcebook. Mucho bueno!)
Back East: The North & South (two books detailing the Union and
Confederacy)
The Black Circle (the most nefarious sourcebook, for Marshals only!)

Do you mean fail as in go bust or simply not make a Fair opposed roll?
