He disables the sentry, finds the cabin in the gulch holding the main body, sneaks in, gets the boy, sneaks out with the boy who hazes the convicts' horses while Gene takes them all on single-handed, subdues them. The others arrive to take the prisoners in. Gene gives the boy his badge, a keepsake.
