However, when he gets there, he discovers that his father has turned into an outlaw, due to the dishonesty and bad faith of others. His father still cares for him and does not want him to be involved in the bandit life; so, he pushes his son away. Bill moves somewhere else and gets a job, as a guard on a stagecoach route. Too bad it's the stagecoach his father's gang was about to steal.
