Synopsis:
Bat Lash meets Don Pasqual, a former worker on his father's farm. Pasqual explains that he rescued Bat's brother Billy when his parents were killed. He took the boy to Mexico where Billy was raised by Doctor Jimeniz. Billy later joined a band of revolutionaries, but Pasqual lost track of him.

Billy has now become a bounty hunter with no memory of his childhood. The Clinton brothers notice that Bat resembles the bounty hunter who took down their father, so they come gunning for Bat. Billy is also searching for Bat because he is wanted by the law. A confrontation ensues when Billy finds Bat, but they end up joining forces against the Clintons. Pasqual is killed after realizing that the bounty hunter is Bat's brother. Bat and Billy then part ways without learning the truth about their family connection.
