Holly and Walker, two bounty hunters, come across a dead sheriff and his
prisoner. The prisoner, John Drago, is still alive, but badly injured from
his horse throwing him. Holly finds a wanted poster in the sheriff's pocket
indicating the reward for Drago, dead or alive, from the Mexican authorities
is thirty-thousand dollars. They take Drago into Dodge for medical
treatment. Doc and Matt insist on keeping Drago under guard in a hotel room
until he's fit to ride. Local farmer Austin Boyle's wife is under Doc's care
because she's having a difficult time carrying her baby and, knowing he
could use the money, Festus suggests that Matt hire him as a guard. A Kansas

Mexico and cash in on him. While Boyle is thinking things over the situation
takes an unexpected turn.
