During a train ride, he becomes acquainted with gambler and con man Sam Beasley (Arthur O Connell) and saloon singer Billie Ellis (Julie London). The train gets attacked by outlaws and Link, Sam and Billie are forced to seek shelter in an abandoned farm Link used to live in years before. However, they discover the same outlaws who attacked the train are squatting there, and what's more, their leader is Dock Tobin (Lee J. Cobb), Link's uncle and the man who raised him to be a criminal, although Link abandoned that lifestyle long ago.

Ghost Town: Dock has long wished to rob the bank in Lassoo, being under the impression that it's a booming town, but when Link actually goes there with the gang, they discover the place has been long abandoned except for a couple of Mexicans (one of which is shot dead by Trout). | |

Shameful Strip | |
| Man of the West / int_8591611a | comment |
Shameful Strip: Billie is forced to strip in front of Dock's gang for their enjoyment, with Coaley threatening to slash Link's throat if she doesn't comply. By the time she's reduced to her underwear, Dock puts a stop to it by ordering Coaley to stand down. Link later gets back at Coaley for what he put Billie through by forcefully taking his clothes off after downing him in a fight, with Coaley struggling and protesting the whole while. When Link can't get Coaley's pants off, he rips them. | |
