Billy thrashes Sledge when the brutal wagon driver tries to lash a young Mexican boy with a bullwhip. When Garrett learns that sledge "purchased" the boy from his impoverished parents for a few dollars, he kicks Sledge out of town and instructs Billy to escort the boy back to his village. Bonney learns that Sledge works for a owner of the town's trading post and the crooked businessman has all of its citizens in his thrall because of his shady practices.
