When he recovers he becomes suspicious of the outsider (George Neise) who is leading the train into a dead-end valley owned by Bannon’s hostile half-brother (Barry Kelley). Braving his relative's animosity going back to the Civil War, he makes contact to try and avoid a showdown.
“He Rode Tall And He Walked Tall... The Stranger out of Nowhere! The wagon train hated him, even after his gun had saved them from a massacre!”
