Synopsis

Scorpion robs a stage as Rawhide intervenes, but Scorpion's paralysis pellets immobilize the Kid, enabling his escape. Scorpion works in an apothecary and uses chemicals to create his potion, seeking revenge on his town for jeering at him when Matt took Saray away from him. Rawhide tracks down Scorpion to Dustville and surmises his true identity, eventually stunning him with his own gun. Rawhide turns Scorpion over to the law.
