The story

“The Living Legend”

The aged Rawhide Kid heads to Laramie to place a rose on the grave of Tim McCain, whom he killed in 1872. The Kid's presence dredges up trouble from a railroad crew who mock him, especially when they discover the Kid now wears dentures. A well-meaning young man breaks the Kid out of jail (even though the Kid was simply resting there, not under confinement) and the Kid has to leave Laramie with guns blazing. His young admirer becomes his 'Understudy'.
