taken to an outlaw camp. Clint and Augie are bank robbers who have
recently hooked up with Pitt Campbell and his friend Randy. Their plans
for an upcoming bank job are foiled when Randy breaks a leg. Before Doc
wakes up the next morning Pitt tells Clint and Augie to go on with their
plans and to forget about him and Randy. Clint's not happy about it, but
agrees and instructs Pitt to "take care of Doc" when he's done with him.
When Doc awakens he finds a rather professional job of setting and
splinting Randy's leg has been performed by Pitt. Doc gives Pitt some
final instructions on caring for Randy and then heads back for Dodge.
The following day Clint and Augie rob the bank in Meade, Kansas, killing

three people. After getting Randy back home for proper care, Pitt goes
to Dodge and asks Doc if he'll teach him medicine. After some debate Doc
agrees. Soon they are spending day and night "reading medicine" together
and Pitt's training is coming along famously. Then one evening Pitt
stops into the Long Branch and sees Clint and Augie at the bar. Clint
then catches Pitt in an alley and pistol-whips him for not killing Doc
when he was told to. Clint and Augie then take Pitt to their hideout.
Clint then sends Augie into town to fetch Doc. He plans to kill them
both!… Expand
