William Bonney, wandering exhausted in the desert, is collected by a stockbreeder, Tundstall, man right and nourished biblical readings which takes it in affection. A little later this stockbreeder, who refuses the use of the weapons, is killed in a ambush by four notable, rival stockbreeders who succeeded in bribing the weak Brady sheriff. Billy, which arrives at once on the spot but can only note the death of its guard, decides to avenge it.

It cuts down initially two of the killers, but in the fire which accompanies the confrontation has the seriously burned left arm (it is excellent gunner and left-handed person). It goes back little by little in a nearby village, while the proclamation of amnesty of the governor of the territory on the war between stockbreeders is posted. Billy, that the local newspaper regards as dead in the fire, does not admit that the amnesty forgives the two unpunished murderers of its ex-owner while itself is officially buried.
