Miners have gone on strike at a nearby mine. Manolito has been working with their leader and is trying to convince Big John to help as well. When the law proves to be one sided, Manolito's help causes the situation to blow up - literally.
Sean McLaren has recruited Manolito to help striking miners convince Big John to write the owners of the mine to make it safer. Big John is sympathetic but initially refuses to help until Victoria weighs in with her opinion. Manolito and Buck are with Sean and his men in a saloon when the mine supervisor Gregg enters with his "guards". He is trying to break the strike but tells the men Sean and all the Irish are not welcome back causing a fight. Sean and Scanlon who started it are arrested and sentenced to the chain gang by the one sided Justice of Peace Russ Belding. Manolito and other miners break them out. The men and other miners hide out with Manolito providing beef while Big John and Victoria supply the families and Big John decides to write the letter. Scanlon interrupting Gregg stirring the town people up against the miners is killed by Gregg's guards. Sean and Manolito decide to blow up the buildings at the mine when Sean receives word about Scanlon's death. Sean ratchets things up by killing Gregg and deciding to blow the mine which would affect homes. Manolito enters the mine to stop Sean but it may blow up in his face.—Anonymous
