- Synopsis
- While pursuing rustlers, Wade's old identifying mark was exposed to hard-nosed Deputy Greer while Wade was saving Greer's life, exposing him as Warren James wanted for a crime eight years ago that Wade/Warren claimed he was innocent of. Sheriff Mason chides Greer for his by the book attitude. Later that day, the Stockman's Hotel ablaze, Wade goes into the inferno and saves a child; a falling ember forever burns away the identifying scar. No lives were lost, but Sheriff Mason declares that "one MAN was lost." Warren Ames. Any man who was a hero twice in one day couldn't have been a rustler.
