[1][2][3][4] Squatter Galt Martin's house is set on fire during the night by a couple of rancher Ed Sampson's men.

When Galt comes out and finds Joe unconscious, he is shot in cold blood by one of the men, also witnessed by Timmy.

When they arrive in town and meet their future husbands it turns out that both Ned and Andy lied about their age too.

A drunk Clint breaks into a store and takes a hat, leaving behind payment, and rides off to find Kathy.

Ned tells Joe they will practice target shooting that afternoon and go to town the next day to confront Clint and Sampson.

Sampson gathers all his men in the saloon and tells them they are going to get rid of all the squatters, then buys them all drinks.

Bart and another of Sampson's men, Bill, are burying Ned in the graveyard, when they see the women and children arrive at the church they head for the saloon.

Just as Sampson and his men are about to leave the saloon, Joe and a few others enter through an upstairs door and order them to put their guns on the table.

Sampson and Clint enter the church and hold everyone at gunpoint, except for Ella who finds Mary dead and rushes to tell Joe and Andy and the squatters when they arrive.
