During a murderous stagecoach robbery, Kate Elder pulls the mask off the robber and recognizes the culprit, but, when questioned by Sheriff Pat Garrett, denies ever having seen the man before. When Doc Holliday refuses to take Kate back into his life, the spurned lover testifies that Doc was the man who robbed the stage and killed the shotgun guard. Billy Bonney knows Kate was lying since he played poker all night with Holliday, but Pat refuses to believe him.
