Boone Williams, the Curly-Haired Kid, has been released from prison and prepares to carry out threats he’s made against Kit Carson and Judge Trumbull, the men who he blames for putting him in prison. While wearing clothes similar to Kit’s he dry-gulches the Judge after arranging for the Judge’s son to witness the crime with Kit nearby so he can be identified as the criminal. El Toro breaks Kit out of jail and the two men pursue Williams to the Panhandle with the Judge’s son in pursuit.
