synopsis
When a wounded shootist returns home to die, he finds that he must try to convince a young man to stay away from the way of life he had lived. The man reminds him very much of what he had been like at that age and, as he nears death, he wants to assure that he doesn't follow along the same path the shootist had and come to the same bad end.
