Anna recognizes him as the son of a man who had saved her father's life years before, and so she is very kind to Jack for this reason. Jack tells her how he had been playing cards in a Western saloon, when a fight started, and in self-defense he had shot one of the cowboys. Anna tells him to go to sleep in the cabin and not to worry. Soon after, Jim Bottsford appears at Anna's cabin, and tries to bully Anna into admitting that she has seen Jack. Jim decides that he had best not go too far, so he nonchalantly makes himself at home, and Anna, inwardly fearful, plays the game in the same way. As Jim is sitting there, he suddenly hears a loud snore, and starts investigating. When Anna returns, Jim has Jack handcuffed and ready to return to town. She gives him signs, so that when she hands him a cigarette she gives him the opportunity of taking her gun. When Jim looks up, he is looking into the barrel of a gun. It then appears that the man has not died, so Jack is not guilty. The sheriff wanted to arrest him before his innocence was discovered to get the reward.
