Notes: Another one of Stan Lee's authentic sounding town names. Ben Gordon has come to Larrame to avenge the death of his brother Josh, who was shot by the sheriff. An old man tells him how things really happened. His brother Josh had murdered the old man's son first - who was also the sheriff's brother Steve. Ben Gordon leave the town without anymore hate in his heart. And the old man reveals to the sheriff that it had all been a white lie - and Steve's shoulder should be just about healed up. But wait - why did the sheriff kill Josh Gordon? - Ger A.

They try to escape by setting the prairie on fire. But the Great Spirit won't let them get away with it. - Ger A.
