While transporting a wanted man to Twin Rivers, a young man holds William Colton up. It turns out the young man is the wanted man's son. Colton is transporting Barney Windom back to be tried for murder, and his son, Bud, swears he is innocent. Colton takes the gun away from Bud, and Bud insists that he is going with Colton and his father to Twin Rivers. After arriving, Colton offers to feed Bud and put him up in a hotel, but Bud refuses. He doesn't want any favors with the "blood money." He then causes trouble, all the time believing his father is innocent of any wrong-doing.
