He left El Paso immediately, traveling across the White Mountains, on his way home to clear his father's name.He stopped for supplies in a remote town and ended up in a gunfight. Chased by a posse with a crooked sheriff John is wounded and finally passes out and falls out of the saddle. He awakens when a boy finds him, brings him water and cares for his wound. He is almost angry when he discovers she is a girl.

With Andy's help and in partnership with a sheriff's deputy he finally discovers the crooks and their reasons for murder. Then he discovers his father's body.
