A narrator recounts riding a through line to a border town near Texas, losing his car, seeking telegraph funds, and being pulled into a masked intrigue. A balcony kiss yields danger as a would be assassin with a tattooed hood weapon lunges, but the narrator subdues him and learns the motive involves a Don’s son and a quarrel over a local beauty.
