Two non-violent bandits begin to feel the inroads of high technology and decide to try and earn a pardon from the Governor of Wyoming.

Curry and Heyes sneak into Tombstone looking for a witness who could clear Big Mac McCreedy of a murder charge while trying to escape the notice of sheriff Wyatt Earp.

After nearly three years of staying out of trouble, for the sake of the amnesty, it's finally time. But when Heyes and the Kid meet sheriff Trevors, they find out that the governor has been removed from office.

The new governor, however, seems nicer. He promises them amnesty, as soon as they do this one job for him. It seems that his daughter has fallen in love with an outlaw, and Heyes and the Kid must bring her back.

The Kid takes it upon him to charm the daughter, and thus make it easier for them to take her with them. But the Kid hadn't counted on her boyfriend's jealous nature and fast gun...

"Witness to a Lynching" is the 49th episode of Alias Smith and Jones.
