When an Apache warrior named Ba-Tu-Mo offers to help—for a cut of the spoils—Kit refuses to bargain with treachery, choosing instead to defend the train on principle alone. As the bandits close in for a final assault under cover of darkness, Kit must trust his wits and courage to survive the night without selling out his convictions.
