Young Karl Westover, a pre-Civil War Texas farm boy, accidentally kills his brother-in-law and must flee to Mexico. Early into his flight he is met by the outlaw Barbarosa, who, seconds later, kills a man who was following him. It is apparent that Barbarosa knows him, but he doesn't say so. Despite his disgust that Karl has nothing worth robbing, Barbarosa is loath to leave the poor rube to die in the desert. Barbarosa shows Karl how to find water, make a fire, and catch an armadillo for his supper before leaving him with the advice to go home to Texas.
