Doolin finds himself accused of helping the crime and winds up an outlaw.

He talks with Carrie Roberts and she tells him he's headed to death on a dark road.

Pat Roberts arrives and covers for them so the agents think they have the wrong man.

Dynamite, who survived the earlier fall into the water, returns and advises he knows of a gold shipment they can steal worth $100,000.
