Kate decides to follow Judd and his friends and, soon, Heck Longtree flirts with her during the rest of the journey. Once in the camp, Kate marries Billy Hammond on the same night but is soon disgusted by the behaviour of her new husband and his four brothers. Steve Judd reluctantly accepts to bring her back to her father but, on their way back, has to face soon his own friend Gil who wants to keep the gold for himself and, above all, the Hammond brothers who want to recover Kate and, to do so, attack the small group on several occasions.
