Damon's crew walks off the job in Oxford when word spreads from the telegraph office there is no pay train coming. As Damon contemplates his next action Favor and Rowdy ride into the railroad camp with the herd nearby. Damon invites the drovers to a party at the railroad saloon while telling Favor he will bring cattle buyers out the next day to look at his herd. During the party a fight breaks out resulting in the drovers being jailed while Damon's girlfriend Goldie knocks out Favor and locks him in a hotel room. The next day Damon tells Rowdy if the men sign work contracts, the judge won't go hard on the men since they were on railroad property. Damon promises to tear the contracts up when the men are free. At the hearing the judge puts the men on probation for ninety days so Damon refuses to tear up the contracts until they are "free". Rowdy punches Damon so he is jailed as well. Goldie tells the sheriff she was abducted by Favor resulting in him being jailed. Damon and Goldie visit Favor in jail to give him some messages. Rowdy is being forced to handle the men for fighting, Damon needs the cook and check wagon to cook for the men, beef to feed the men, and - there are no cattle buyers.
