Meanwhile, Dude Dutton (Bruce Gordon) has been cultivating the friendship of invalid Jim Morgan (Churchill Ross) in order to get close to Jim's sister Milly (Ena Gregory). Jim wants to move somewhere else, but they cannot because they don't have the money. Dude confides to Jim that he knows a way they can get the money. The next day, when Sam checks with the stage office, he learns the stage was robbed and his money is gone. Jim however, exultantly tells Milly he won enough money at gambling to move out. She is suspicious, but agrees to move with him. Sam goes out to a line shack on his ranch with his foreman and is incensed to find a shepherd herding sheep on his land and kicks the shepherd out. Dude, leaving town in a hurry, runs into the shepherd and gives him money to buy the sheep and change clothes with him. He herds the sheep right back to the line shack however, and is summarily ejected by Sam, thinking he is the same shepherd he kicked out before. On the road, Dude encounters Jim and Milly, and suggests that if Jim wants to improve his health in the outdoors, he should take up sheep herding, and tells him he can live in the line shack. Jim and Milly move in to the shack, whereupon Sam is once again enraged to find sheep on his land, but softens when he meets Milly and agrees to help them. Milly hides Jim's money in the mattress, still suspecting he stole it. Sam resolves to find Milly a place in town, but the town's rough reputation worries him.
