The two men come to talking and Freckles mentions his serene home town to Jack, having only good things to say about it.

When Jack's crooked friend Nate Quigley arrives in town, he pretends to be interested in buying lots from Danny, in order to pull a scam on him.

Danny gets a green light for the road development, but Jack is found dead in his hotel room.

Freckles, who has fallen in love with Jane Potter, his childhood friend, suspects the newcomer Quigley of the deed, but doesn't seem to convince anyone else.

The road development then starts, and Danny's finances are saved by the reward for capturing the bank robbers.
