Ringo Kid Vol 2 9

Seeing to capture an outlaw named Spider, the Ringo Kid rides into the town of Pronghorn to apprehend him. Wishing no interference, the Ringo Kid ambushes the local sheriff and his men and locks them up in the town jail. As Ringo Kid heads toward the local saloon to confront Spider, he is tipped off by his friend Dull Knife that Spider has set up an ambush. The Ringo Kid defends himself, downing Spider's men but Spider manages to get away on horseback. The Kid and Dull Knife follow after him just as the local lawmen break out of the jail. The US Marshal tells the other lawmen to stay behind while he goes out personally to stop both the Ringo Kid and Spider. Using their tracking skills, Ringo and Dull Knife manage to track Spider to the top of a mesa where he and the Ringo Kid fight it out while both Dull Knife and the Marshal watch, hoping to apprehend both men. However as the Kid fights it out, Dull Knife gets the drop on the Marshal just as the Kid defeats Spider in a fight. The Ringo Kid turns Spider over to the Marshal, who decides to let the Ringo Kid and Dull Knife go free for helping him capture Spider.

At that time the Kid has finished explaining his story and learns that the local castle Vista Conquistador, built back when the region was occupied by the Spanish has recently been occupied after being abandoned for years.
