One day Rudd reveals himself to be the murderer of Dad Mason: John recognizes the eye-catching scarf that Rudd wore during the attack. With a fake gold transport it, the gang a trap to Rudd in the act to catch. In fact, another attack takes place, in the course of which John can eliminate almost the whole gang.

Ben - already deliberately made jealous by Rudd earlier - sees the two from a distance and thinks he is watching a love affair. He turns away from John while Rudd and John face an open confrontation. Because of his jealousy, Ben unnoticed removes the cartridges from John's Colt, who rides them defenselessly to a duel into town.
