On the trail of Bly once more, Brisco is confronted by the ghost of his father, who hints at his mysterious destiny with the Orb, hints that there are other Orbs, and helps him to track down Bly. Brisco Jr. must also deal with his obsession with Bly, and decide which is more important: bringing in the outlaw or endangering innocent lives. The trail leads to a farm manned by an innocent old couple who turn out not to be so innocent after all. In the final shootout, Bly escapes and one of his lackeys activates the Orb that Bly already has, destroying it once and for all.

Brisco returns to his hometown to help an old friend of the family, the town sheriff, deal with a villianous cattle baron. He also renews a relationship with the sheriff's daughter and his previous girlfriend.
