 Dr. Steven Bishop (Regis Toomey) is taken to the hideout of Frank Dillon (Howard da Silva) and his gang to treat the wounded Joe Madison (Tod Andrews as Michael Ames). Joe s nurse sister Nora Madison (Adele Longmire) is also taken. Dillon tells Bishop that if Joe dies, he will be killed, but Bishop knows he will be either way. Joe dies, but Nora and Steve conceal it from Dillon and send a plea for help in a prescription that Bishop writes.
