Realizing she might be in danger, Slim follows her and knocks out Ross who tries to attack her. Afterward, she persuades Slim to come to her house and help her wounded father, who plans to return $50,000 that he embezzled from a Helena bank (but has never spent). Slim agrees to take them to Helena by wagon, but they are trailed by the same men who had earlier planned to rob Slim and now hope to take the money Mr. Franklin is carrying for themselves.
