When he was shot he stumbled over old man Rance and his daughter Dolly, and they gave him shelter, for which he left with them coupon 1607 for some land in Oklahoma. It's shortly after that Rance is dispossessed, and determines to cross into Oklahoma. Here he takes his chance in the homestead lottery, and sure enough 1607 is one of the winning numbers. But the sheriff intervenes, claiming that the ticket is non-transferable, and that Dolly is not the original owner. It looks pretty blue, but Jack Dave wants to see his little present reach home, so he takes a daring change by showing up and backing up his ownership of the lottery ticket, winning the house for Dolly, and Dolly for himself.
