Nugget reveals to newspaperman Oliver Budge that there is another heir to the ranch, Leslie Rawlins from out east, and that they are coming in on the stage.

Sharkey goes to Budge, who is the mastermind behind the rustlers, who admits that he bought up the note on the ranch so he can seize it when they fail to pay.
