== Biography ==
Some time ago, Henry/the Ringo Kid defended his family - father and brother - against the Plummer brothers, but he was sent to prison after being accused of killing or being involved with the deaths of the relatives, thanks to the Plummers' testimony. He eventually managed to escape, and spent his time plotting to avenge his family's deaths by killing the no-good Plummers.
The Ringo Kid's first mentioned when Buck talks with the Sheriff about how he was trying to catch the Ringo Kid who had recently busted out of the penitentiary for revenge. Interested in pursuing both Ringo and Luke Plummer in Lordsburg, Tonto's Marshal, Curley Wilcox volunteers to "ride shotgun" with Buck and prevent an expected confrontation with the Ringo Kid.
Shortly afterward, Buck and various other passengers board the stagecoach for Dry Fork, Apache Wells, Lee's Ferry and Lordsburg, through dangerous and hostile Apache Indian land. The stagecoach departs but a rifle shot is heard, which was from the Ringo Kid who was re-cocking his rifle, standing in the middle of the desert by the trail, stranded without a horse. Buck calls out for Ringo, while Marshal Curley prepares to shoot him. The fugitive requests joining them as "another passenger" to Lordsburg but is promptly put under arrest. He surrenders his rifle to Curley only when the Cavalry rides up from behind. While talking to three of the passengers, Doc Boone discusses his relationship with the Ringo Kid's brother and how he healed his arm when it got broken. But he shocks everyone when he tells them his brother was murdered.
The company briefly stops for a mid-day dinner meal. While dinner's served, Ringo nonchalantly helps Dallas (ignorant that she is a prostitute) into a chair before sitting down, treating her with respect. She is positioned with Lucy on her right at the head of the table and Ringo on her left. However, Ringo's action by placing Dallas too close to Lucy offends the Southern woman's sense of propriety. Hatfield offers Lucy another seat further away, and the two move and relocate to the far end of the table (joined by Gatewood), leaving outlaw Ringo and whore Dallas mutually isolated and sitting together at the other end, and yet Ringo expresses indifference towards this.
Back on the trail, the stagecoach continues its journey toward Apache Wells, after passing through a dust storm, the coach arrives at its next stop, Apache Wells, arriving there after seven hours on the road. Shortly after learning the tragic news of her husband's injuries in a "skirmish with Apaches," Lucy faints and collapses on the floor, going into labor. Curley carries her to a back room of the staging post, while Dallas and Ringo summon Doc Boone to help. Gatewood complains about the inconvenient delay in getting to Lordsburg. Doc Boone stumbles around intoxicated, knowing that he will soon be called upon to come out of his drunken stupor, take professional responsibility and deliver the baby. Dallas and Chris' Apache wife Yakima assist Doc during the labor and childbirth, while Hatfield, Ringo and Curley anxiously wait outside the back room. That night, the men surround Dallas to take a look as she tells them the baby was a girl. Her maternal instincts awakened, Dallas continues to look at Ringo and Ringo gazes back at Dallas nestling the newborn baby in her arms - deciding at that moment, presumably, that she has the proper maternal instincts for marriage. Ringo sees Dallas stroll away down a dark corridor and through a lighted doorway to the outside of the station to get fresh air, and follows after her without her knowing. Ringo and Dallas begin to fall in love with each other, as he explains the necessity of his mission to Lordsburg to avenge the murders of his father and brother. She admits having had to fend for herself at a young age following the death of her parents. Impressed by the way she handled Lucy's baby, he proposes to her, lacking social prejudice against her profession.
