Yawkey, a gunslinger, rides into Laramie and takes a seat at a table in the Birdcage. He asks Jake the bartender to sit down and tells him who he is and to tell the Marshal he wants to see him in the street at 3:30 pm. Troop returns to the Birdcage to see why Yawkey wants to kill him but Yawkey says they have nothing to talk about. Johnny and then Lily try to intervene but Troop realizes he must meet Yawkey as requested. When the time comes, Yawkey beats Troop but his gun does not fire - it is empty. Yawkey explains to Troop that he wanted to die as he passes away.
