Tin Star is threatened with another quick draw by the Bad Oil Gang's The Kid Johnson; however, Tin Star faces the "Good Guy Code of the West" again, as The Kid, although an experienced gunfighter, cannot be shot due to being a child. The Kid goes away without any injuries; however, the gang's leader, Black Bart, requests the kid disappear, and hires a town civilian to spread misinformation about Tin Star murdering the child. Tin Star is convicted of shooting a child and has his sheriff badge revoked, only to be taken by Black Bart replacing him. He is then knocked out by Mo's big brother and enemy, Schemp, and the Big Oil Gang dumps the body in the middle of the desert.
