- Tate tags along when grudge-holding Amos returns home to kill the little brother who wooed away and wed Amos' sweetheart during his long absence. Meanwhile, a marauding band of Comanches approaches.
- Amos Dundee (Frank Overton) has been searching for the killer, William Essey (Bradford Lane), of his then 18 year old brother for the past two years. The 18 year old brother had called Essey a cheat during a card game and Essey "belly-shot" him causing a long drawn out death. Tate found Essey and has apparently contacted Amos to meet him in the town where Essey is at a saloon. They go to the saloon and, in a gun draw, Amos shoots and kills Essey. Now Amos can go back to his ranch where his other younger brother Tad (Robert Redford) has been. Before he goes though, Amos picks up a general delivery letter from the girl he wants to marry, Lucy (Anne Whitfield), and finds out Lucy now wants to marry Tad. So now Amos wants to kill Tad for stealing his girl. Tate tags along back to the ranch and on the way they run into some renegade-killed-a-bunch-of-farmers Comanches (Leonard Nimoy is the chief ) who try and shake them down for their guns. Tate gives them some tobacco but that is all and the foiled Chief threatens to kill them when he can sometime in the future. Tate splits off to report the massacred farmers but still beats Amos to Amos' Ranch. Tad and Lucy have already married but Amos is still out for blood. Tate and Lucy try to convince Amos otherwise but Amos calls Tad out. Tad won't fight but doesn't back down either. While Amos is horsewhipping Tad the Comanches show up again and shoot some arrows into Amos and Tate just as Tate had redirected Amos' anger toward himself. Amos now lays dead, Tate wounded and Tad has picked up a gun to kill an Indian while the Chief rides away with Lucy. Tad goes after and next scene he is back with Lucy asking Tate where Tate buried Amos. Tad goes to the gravesite, opens his saddlebag and pulls out a Comanche scalp to put on a stick by the grave. He explains to an onlooking Tate, "They took his life away from me, I took their lives away from them." Tate gives a few slight nods in apparent understanding and approval and the show ends with both walking away from grave.
