The Outcasts
While out riding with his ward Randy Clayton, the Rawhide Kid spots campfire smoke coming from Comanche territory. Believing that the Comanches would not like trespassers on their land, the Kid and Randy go to investigate. They come across a group of men trying to steal furs trapped by the Rawhide Kid's old friend Java Joe and sends them packing. Freeing Java, the Rawhide Kid invites him to come back home with them. Java Joe instantly wins Randy's admiration with stories about his past adventures with the Rawhide Kid. The next morning, the Kid leaves Joe to see Randy off to school while he rides into town.
There, the Kid stops in to talk to the Sheriff, having grown annoyed with Java Joe and not wanting him around anymore. Unbeknownst to the Rawhide Kid, Randy happens to be passing by and overhears part of the conversation and is suddenly brought to tears having not heard the Kid was talking about Joe, and believing that his guardian no longer wants him around. Randy then rides back to his home and tells Java what he overheard and Joe decides that they both should leave. As they ride off they are spotted by the fur thieves that ran afoul of Joe earlier and are ambushed.
Meanwhile, the Rawhide Kid returns home and finds that both Randy and Joe are gone. Using his tracking skills, the Kid manages to track them down and save their lives. In the aftermath, explanations are made and the Rawhide Kid tells them that he has had a change of heart and Java Joe can stay with them after all.
