Opening narration

ynopsis

The episode opens with outlaw Pinto Sykes being ambushed and shot by several men in the middle of a street. Later, gun-for-hire Conny Miller visits the town in hopes of finding and killing Sykes. However, he is angry to find that Sykes is already dead. On a bet, Miller visits the grave of Pinto Sykes - who, as he lay dying, had vowed to reach up and grab Miller if he ever came near the grave. Miller is told to stick a knife into the ground as proof that he visited the grave. After doing this, something grabs him and pulls him back down....

The next day, the rest of the men visit the cemetery and find out what happened to Miller. They find him dead on top of the grave, with the knife through his coat, stuck in the ground. One of the men suggest that he stuck the knife through his coat unknowingly, and as he stood up the tug scared him, giving him a heart attack. Sykes' sister alone laughs at this, since the previous night the wind was blowing away from the grave. She says that they all know what really happened, but they do not want to admit it.
