Synopsis for "Desert Vengeance!"

While riding across the desert Kid Colt comes across a monk just as he collapses from heat exhaustion. The Kid rushes to his aid and gives him water and builds a shelter to keep him out of the sun. He learns from the monk that some men stole an ancient vase from the Chapel of Santo Miguel which is kept in a fountain due to it's special properties. Kid Colt leaves the monk in the care of a local and then goes to the chapel to search for clues. Checking the fountain, Kid Colt finds that the water is poisonous and deduces that the vase must have some sort of filtering properties that makes the water pure enough to drink. Kid Colt then tries to follow the thieves trail, finding it still fresh.

Not far away, the three thieves argue over what to do about the vase, one of them just wants to get rid of it, while their leader believes that it could be sold for a great amount of money. However they find no prospective buyers and that night they return to camp. There they are ambushed by Kid Colt who takes the vase back from them, but the thieves vow to take it again. The following day the thieves head back to the chapel but run out of water along the way. By the time they arrive at the chaple they are dying of thirst. Rushing inside, they take the vase out of the fountain and begin drinking the water only to be poisoned as a result. As they pass out, Kid Colt takes the vase back and returns it to the fountain. The monk returns to tell Kid Colt that the maker of the vase was an expert on purification. Kid Colt examines the men will be okay soon enough as they did not drink enough of the poison water for it to be lethal and when the men are back in good health they are let go, believing that they have learned their lesson.
