 Jason finds that his old friend Rufus I. Pitkin (R.I.P.) is now working as a "dignified undertaker." They discover that a coffin contains more than a dead body, and is the centerpiece of a ruse for hiding booty from a stagecoach robbery. Jason is confronted by one of the robbers who mocks him for his past cowardice. Somehow Jason and Rufus must deal with his past in order to deal with the challenges of the present.
