Brief Synopsis:
Ryker befriends a nurse who, with only childhood memories to go by, thinks
an accused murderer might be her long-lost brother.  Unbeknownst to the
lawman, when the wounded Larson (Prine) makes an escape Claire (Smith) goes
along to help him.  It's then that the outlaw's true heritage is revealed.
