Dan makes his escape with his donkey named Kentuck and boards a train where he is aided by a young woman who hides him in a Pullman stateroom. It turns out that the woman owns a ranch. Dan finds refuge with prospector Joshua Reynolds, who tells him that there is gold on the ranch property of the woman.
