Heath helps an old friend with a prisoner and understanding

Heath happens to be passing through the town of Jubilee to see an old friend Marshal Frank Sawyer. Frank has a son named Chad that seems unable to live up to his father's reputation as a tough lawman. Chad is more interested in drawing than becoming the next Marshal of Jubilee.

Heath helps Frank and Chad with an arrest of a drunk, Earl Vaughan, who happens to be a family member of an outlaw gang. With the threat of the Vaughan family trying to free Earl, Frank decides to take Earl to the better equipped Stockton jail. And Heath decides to tag along with the Marshal and his son on the trip.

With Chad making errors at every turn, the group and their prisoner make it to an abandon town named Limbo. Soon the Vaughan family catches up group with the idea of freeing Earl and killing everyone else. And like all good westerns- the town of Limbo has that wind sound and tumbleweeds as the gunfight breaks out. Chad has a chance to finally be his own man but will he have the guts to take that chance.
