Synopsis:
A man who looks like Jonah Hex robs a stagecoach and shoots one of the passengers. However, the man is not Jonah. He is a master of disguise known as the Chameleon. The Chameleon has been hired by Turnbull to cause Jonah more trouble including planting evidence from the robbery in a farmhouse where Jonah is staying. Eventually Jonah tracks down Turnbull who is revealed to be alive and is out to get Hex.
After Turnbull threatens a woman who helped Jonah, Hex returns to the farmhouse. He finds the woman, Joanna Mosby with the Chameleon. The Chameleon ties them up and sets the house on fire. Jonah and the woman barely escape, while the Chameleon is trapped inside. Jonah rides off, Joanna helps clear Jonah's name of the robbery, and the Chameleon lives, though he is badly burned from the fire.
