Favor travels to an army post to get permission to move his herd through a pass before it is exploded to build a dam. At the post he spots Sally-Ann (Elizabeth MacRae), a woman from his home town who recently married the post commander (John Anderson). After the three have dinner, the commander leaves, and Sally-Ann implores Favor to take her away. She says how unhappy she is, that she dreams of living in high society, attending swank parties. She offers him her love and money that she has in a chest. A lieutenant overhears this and knocks Favor unconscious so as to protect the commander from the scandal of his wife's planned desertion. Sally-Ann then shots the lieutenant dead with Favor's gun. Favor comes to, and is arrested for murder. At his trial it is revealed that Sally-Ann is a delusional liar, that she has approached other officers in the same manner, and that her husband lied to her about having a chest of money so as to keep her with him.
