He covers the crowd with his gun, shoots Burns, and makes his getaway. At his rendezvous, King finds himself out of tobacco and sends his companion Eagle Eye back to town to buy some. Eagle Eye discovers a reward for King outside the saloon, and the Indian, leaving to return, brings the sign with him. King at the rendezvous takes the sign from Eagle Eye, destroys it, but Eagle Eye shows he is afraid of being caught with King and leaves, after King warns him not to squeal. Taking a job on a ranch, Eagle Eye meets the daughter through a little accident to a pall she is carrying, which he fixes for her; he is infatuated. King stops at the ranch house for a drink and sees Eagle Eye attack the daughter in another part of the place. King, rushing to her rescue, beats up Eagle Eye and sends him off. For revenge, Eagle Eye turns informer and directs the sheriff to King's position. King sees them near the cliff and the shooting brings down Eagle Eye, who falls over the cliff. A duel follows between the sheriff and King. The sheriff is finally keeled over with a shot and King goes to wet his handkerchief. He leaves his gun behind, and the sheriff, reviving, covers King, and ties his hands with a handkerchief. The westerners decide to take the law in their own hands and coming on the sheriff in his cabin, eating, they take the prisoner away from him, after hog-tying the sheriff. The crowd makes for a tree, but as they arrive and are ready to string up King, the sheriff comes, after freeing himself by rolling into the hayfield and cutting bonds with a hay knife he found. The sheriff covers the crowd with his revolver and makes them remove the rope, and King tells his story. King, Burns, and Mary are making the journey over the range when they come upon an old miner's shack. They answer his cries for help, King and Mary going in. The miner is on his deathbed and before he passes away gives them the bag of gold he has hoarded. The two make Burns a third partner in their good fortune. At camp that night. Burns takes the money from King and with the only water bag in the party, steals away. After a terrible trip across the desert, Mary dies, with King attending her. Hence the swift revenge on Burns in the saloon. Back to the tree, where the westerners commend and sympathize with King, and all leave except the sheriff, who looks at King, grief-stricken.
