Sundown Slim and sets the stage for his journey as he disembarks from a freight train in the small town of Antelope. After escaping from a locked boxcar, he encounters a friendly cowboy who informs him that job opportunities are scarce in the area—but he could possibly find work as a cook at a local hotel.
