Sandy Saunders sees Sheriff Bill Baxter staggering in the desert and then falling.
They encounter two men and tell them there is no one on the stage to rob and the moneybag has already been stolen, implying they all knew that a "robbery" was supposed to occur.
Fay's father, Charlie, explains that they own half shares in a mine and that they get regular payments that come in on the stage.
They found out that someone was opening their mail and knew when the payments were coming and the stage was robbed each time.
Bert and Elmer try to trap Sandy, but he easily defeats them, then ties them up and drags them into town.
Kincaid tells his hired gun Slip Morgan to face off against Sandy in the street.
sandy suggests blowing up the Denton's well, which Kincaid accepts and Fay is shocked to overhear.
Sandy tells the ranchers to accept Kincaid's offer, but to make sure to add in a special clause.
As Saunders rides off into the distance Fay runs in happily to bake a hundred biscuits.
Wayne's singing voice was dubbed, and the film is considerably darker than the Gene Autry singing cowboy movies that followed it; for example, Singin' Sandy's ten-gallon hat was black instead of white and he would grimly chant about "they'll be blood a'runnin' in town before night" and "you'll be drinking your drinks with the dead" as he strode purposefully down the street toward a showdown.
Equally dark, the bad man in the film says he has made the ranchers "an offer they can't refuse."
The supporting cast includes George "Gabby" Hayes, the acrobatic comedian Al St. John, and the stuntman Yakima Canutt.
