Bowie faces execution as a Mexican governor scans him for spies after capture near San Diego. A wary Indian guard named Sanchez hints at help, and Bowie plots escape with a dug tunnel while a disguised padre offers quiet aid. The tale blends frontier danger, shifting loyalties, and Bowie's stubborn resolve amid war and captivity.
A Franciscan padre visits Bowie in a Mexican prison, probing his past as a Texan in California. They discuss the spy charge, Bowie's escape plan, and a long‑gone raid where two girls were kidnapped. The padre reveals a potential escape with two horses and questions Bowie's repentance as a guard looms.
Bowie avoided a clash among California grafters and kept to open ground as he rode toward San Diego. He planned to outfit there and push across the desert to Texas, a land he had not seen in years. He arrived late at night, intending to sleep outside the town, but rain began to fall at dusk and he rode to the presidio gate.
