Synopsis for "Ghost Town"

Jonah Hex is wanted for the murder of sixteen people - including women and children. Meanwhile, Jonah, unaware of his warrant, helps Joe and Hoyt out of an Indian massacre and brings their wagon full of supplies to Yellow Creek. The men were not commissioned to enter the pox-ridden town, so Jonah takes the wagon in alone. The town seems abandoned, so Jonah shoots in the air to alert the townsfolk of his presence. After a few moments, someone shoots back at him. He heads into the hotel from where the shot was fired, and finds it full of pox victims. Hex finds the culprit - a scar-faced man in Confederate uniform that is on a crusade to see Hex dead becuase Hex killed his father - Donald Manchester. Hex kicks him in the head, gives him some pox medicine, and decides to have a drink. Just outside of town, a posse has caught up to Joe and Hoyt. The posse tells them that they are looking for Jonah Hex and Joe and Hoyt oblige them the information, but make a disclaimer that they do not belive that Hex would kill women and children. The posse comes upon Hex and Mr. Manchester and are shocked that there are two men that fit the description of Jonah Hex! Jonah points to Mr. Manchester and informs the posse that the murders were done in his name. A confused posse thinks that they should maybe kill them both just to be sure, but Jonah sorts things out his own way.
