Being saved by a man named Ace, twice, by attacking Indians, Billy the Kid agrees to go with Ace to be safe from further attacks. Ace has a case of tuberculosis and is is dead set on killing any Indian that happens on his path. However the two are surrounded soon after Ace indiscriminately kills a hunting party.
However, the Indians let Billy go, as Billy tried to stop Ace from killing the Indian chief's son. Not wishing to be burned alive, Ace demands that Billy pay his debt, and reveals that he was the killer of Billy's father, and that he knows that Billy is really a girl.
