Old Ben is always talking about a long-lost son. When Rawhide defends him from a bully, Ben insists the Kid is his son. Spade and his friend try to kill Rawhide to collect his reward, but Ben sees them and takes a bullet for the Kid. The Kid defeats the gunmen and takes Ben to a doctor, comforting the old man as he dies. The doctor reveals Ben never had a son - it was all a delusion.
