Old Henry

In 1906, widower Henry McCarty and his son Wyatt reside on a farm in the Oklahoma Territory, near Henry's brother-in-law, Al. Following the discovery of a lost horse with a bloodstained saddle, Henry locates its owner, a man named Curry, who is near death. A pistol and a satchel filled with money are found beside Curry. Initially disinclined to intervene, Henry departs on horseback, intending to leave the injured man. However, he reconsiders, returning to the farm with the unconscious Curry and the recovered funds to administer medical aid. Henry subsequently questions Curry, who identifies himself as a law enforcement officer and the only survivor of a posse dispatched to apprehend a group of outlaws. Curry requests assistance in preventing the outlaws from recovering the stolen money.
