Border Patrolman Ed drops by to tell Bob that notorious smuggler Zorro has just crossed the line with a cargo of contraband. Leaving Rinty at the railroad station at the wheel of his car with a note of regret for Barbara, Bob and Ed hit the trail to catch Zorro. They capture the truck and its driver, Matt Brent, but Zorro escapes on foot. Meanwhile, Barbara has arrived and taken herself and Rinty to Bob's cabin, and Zorro shows up, decides that driving is better than walking, and enters the cabin bent on getting the keys. Rinty valiantly defends Barbara, but Zorro stuns him and murders her. Bob arrives and, unaware that Rinty put up a good fight before being knocked out, kicks him out of the cabin in contempt and anger. Bob resigns from the service and, masquerading as a smuggler named Rocky Morgan and friend of the captured Matt, he goes to "Skull and Crown", a fashionable resort owned by John Norton, whom Zorro and his gang are holding hostage there along with his daughter Ann, while they themselves enjoy the resort. Faithful Rinty has not renounced his devotion to Bob; having followed him there, he's promptly captured. Henchman Jennings, who was with Zorro at the cabin and recognizes the dog, and knowing that Rinty will go to his master, lines up all the gang including the newly-inducted Bob, with instructions to another henchmen--evidently the only one he trusted--to shoot down the first man the dog recognizes. Having seen this before (or been told about it by Rin-Tin-Tin the Elder), snubs everybody, especially Bob. Meanwhile, the Border Patrol has purposely released Matt in order to follow him to the hideout, but they lose him and Matt shows up and blows the whistle on Bob. Imprisioned, Bob awaits Zorro's arrival, as Zorro has a rule against killing anybody when he isn't around to take part. Worst of all, Rinty is all tied up and can't help his master.

That will states that Joe's embalmed body is to be interned with Francine's mother in Santa Barbara, despite Joe already having been cremated. Arvilla knows that Joe would have wanted his ashes scattered into the wind. The will also deeds the house in which Arvilla and Joe lived their entire marriage to Francine, which would leave Arvilla not only homeless, but shut out of the house in which she has strong and loving memories. Francine offers a settlement with Arvilla: Joe's ashes for the house. Arvilla reluctantly agrees. Arvilla plans on bringing the ashes to the memorial service in Santa Barbara in one week's time, accompanied by her two best friends, free wheeling and single Margene Cunningham, and "perfect" mom Carol Brimm, all three women being Mormon of varying devotion.

But upon their departure from Pocatello in Joe's refurbished Pontiac Bonneville convertible, Arvilla takes the three on a road trip instead to all the places she and Joe loved en route to Santa Barbara. This trip gives Arvilla time to decide ultimately what she will do regarding her deal with Francine, which is affected by her time with Margene and Carol, and by encounters they have with people they meet along the way, most specifically a young man named Bo who is on a search for his biological father who he has never met, and a long haul trucker named Emmett.
