Johnny Quick tries to bring two men together, one who hates water, and one who can't stand being without it. Many years earlier, Otis Baybridge and Jim Logan were stranded in the desert, when Baybridge refused to give Logan any water. All this time he thought he had left Logan to die, but Johnny locates him, now a raving madman who won't leave his pool of water. Johnny re-enacts the old scene, which snaps Logan back to reality.
