In Wellston, Buck Duane confronts Cal Bain after Bain hunts him for a showdown. Duane draws first, Bain falls fatally shot, and the crowd notes the son of a gunslinger has taken his first life in a single, decisive encounter.
Duane, now hunted and shunned, abandons his home after killing Bain and faces life as an outlaw. He hides in the Texas desert, haunted by a ghostly memory of Cal Rain, and meets Luke Stevens a roguish stranger who offers companionship toward Mercer as they head into the border country.
Duane and Stevens saddle their horses near Mer cer after a rest in the shade of mesquites just before sunset and prepare to ride on.
The question arises whether Buck’s decision to run away was justified as self defense or if it led him toward an outlaw life. Proponents argue escaping danger can absolve guilt, while critics say proving defense could have steered him to safety.
