Summaries

  • Josh is hired by Harry Weaver to track down his twin brother Pete, who's wanted with a $500 bounty on him. Harry is tired of being used by Pete plus the law and bounty hunters are apt to mistake him for Pete resulting in his own death.
  • Twin brothers Pete and Harry Weaver are breaking camp when Harry breaks the news to Pete that he is going his own way. Pete tries to tell Harry they must stick together but when Harry stays firm, Pete knocks him out and runs off his horse. Later, in his hotel room Josh hears a knock on his door. He opens it with his hand on his gun as Harry Weaver steps in. After finding no weapons on Harry, Josh listens to Harry's job offer. He hands Josh a poster that states Pete Weaver is wanted for $500 with a picture that matches Harry's face. Josh asks if Harry wants him to turn him in but Harry explains Pete is his twin brother. He produces his own birth certificate which shows him as Harry and not Pete. Harry is worried a bounty hunter or lawman will mistake him for Pete plus he believes Josh will bring Pete in alive. He offers Josh $106 for the job. Josh accepts the offer so the two head for where Harry thinks Pete may be. A rain storm forces them into a barn for cover where fellow bounty hunter Phil Richards arrives with a hungry look.—Anonymous
