Dust opens in a dimly lit room where Edge has stealthily made his way in, searching for hidden treasures. As he scours the seemingly empty space, he stumbles upon old photographs, some dating back to the early 20th century. His moment of exploration is abruptly interrupted by Angela, the elderly resident of the place, who surprises him. In a moment of desperation, he strikes her, but before he can make his getaway, she produces a large antique six-shooter, still very much functional, and begins to share the intricate details of her life story.
