He pretends to be seriously wounded, and when the sheriff goes to get him some water from his canteen, he treacherously shoots him. Springing onto the sheriff's horse, he gallops off, leaving the officer to die under the pitiless sun, wounded and without water. But he refuses to lie down and die quietly; instead, by slow, painful crawling, he reaches his home, where he collapses. He commands his son Sandy to go into the desert and fetch back the desperado, dead or alive, and Sandy swears to carry out his mission. Meanwhile, Black Steve has been stricken with fever brought on by his wound and in his delirium he spills every drop of precious water from his canteen. Sandy finds him and handcuffs the rascal, then starts homeward with his prisoner. On their way they run across an abandoned prairie wagon in which are two small children. Owing to the lack of water and the fact that the horse cannot carry both Black Steve and the children, Sandy is in despair as to what to do: should he leave the children or Steve behind? But the sight of the children brings out what little good is in Steve, and he solves it his own way: One shot from the revolver hidden in his boot and he has squared his account with man and God.
