Episode Overview
Adam, the son of a respected figure in Dodge City, returns home only to find himself under fire from a bounty hunter named Stark. Adam, who recently escaped from a Texas prison, becomes Stark's target as the bounty hunter aims to take him back. In an attempt to negotiate, Adam offers Stark $1,000 if they visit his father for assistance. Stark agrees, but Adam's father declines to help. Fortunately, Adam’s sister, Glory, steps in, yet Stark believes they need more money. He insists that Adam's father has $5,000 readily available. Adam refuses to comply, leading Stark to confront his father, who reveals he had hired detectives to locate Adam.
