Capt. Josiah Perry, a strict army officer, had two sons. He has found out that one of his sons had been killed in North Fork so he goes and ask the other son to ride with him to revenge the son's death. But the living son, Ben Perry, tells him that he is not going. This upsets the Captain and he tells Ben that he no longer has a living son.
When the Captain gets to North Fork he finds out that the person that killed his son was Lucas McCain. It seems that his son was a bandit and forced Lucas into a fight. However, the Captain does not want to hear the circumstance of the killing. He is only after revenge for his son's death.
Captain Perry will face down Lucas but not before his other son Ben makes the trip. Ben has a secret that he needs to tell his father but no one is sure that the strict military man will see his fault.
Another nice moral story that proves that Lucas and Mark's relationship is special. Perhaps the Captain and his son can see their relationship based on love and not discipline. Good Watch.
