James and Albert go shopping in Sleepy eye after James gets $15.00 and James wants to buy a rifle, Albert talks him out of it saying that it would be better if he puts the money in the bank, James agrees and races Albert to the bank. When he ran it he got shot by one of the bank robbers and ends up needing very risky surgery to remove the bullet from his spine. Charles and Isaiah go after the bank robbers since no one else in the town will dare to, later they find Albert followed them since he felt he was to blame for James getting shot. Charles and Isaiah reluctantly let Albert join them and together they go to find the bank robbers. They find the robbers old hideout and a fresh grave with a clue to where the robbers might be.
