A few days later, Jimmy is on the outskirts of the ranch when he spots a beautiful girl and follows her home. Even after he realizes that she is Durling's daughter Maria, he declares his love for her. Meanwhile, Durling and his oldest son Frank trick Lute to keep him occupied while they rustle cattle.
