The Man Who Murdered Gunhawk!

Gunhawk is camping out for the night when a young man named Nolie Desmond tries to get the drop on him. Red is a faster draw and shoots the guns out of the boys hand. Seeing that this is no bushwacker, Gunhawk asks what the boy wants and learns that he wishes to be Red's sidekick. Warning the boys of the dangers of being a travelling gunslinger, Red cannot dissuade Nolie from his desires and agrees to allow him to accompany him the following day when he moves along.

Red and Nolie ride into Sage City a town that is frightened whenever the Gunhawk comes to town because outlaws always try to take a shot at him when he does. At the local saloon an outlaw tries to take a shot at Red, but he is a faster draw and shoots the man dead. The sheriff arrives shortly thereafter and asks Red and Nolie to leave town. That night while they are camping, Gunhawk reiterates the dangers he faces every day by outlaws who are trying to make a reputation for themselves but Nolie still insists on joining him and being his sidekick.

The following day they enter the town of El Pueblo where they are spotted by a trio of outlaws who want to snuff out the Gunhawk. While Red is watering his horse, the men attack and seemingly shoot Gunhawk who apparently dies of his wounds. Horrified, and realizing the dangers of being a gunslinger, Nolie leaves town to return to his normal life.

As it turns out, Gunhawk was not really hit when shot at and was faking his death in order to dissuade Nolie into entering the life of a gunslinger. He then tracks down the outlaws who tried to kill him just as they finish robbing a bang and mows them down with his guns.
