The mine payroll has gone out with only two guards. Chet thinks Selden is out of action. The KKs believe Selden and his gang are still active and two guards aren't enough. They tail the stagecoach. With deliberate murderous aim of rifle, Selden murders the driver, and puts bullets into the door of the stage holding the paymaster. Ted starts a landslide, driving off the gang and saving the payroll. The paymaster is alive, with a shoulder wound. Ted sees the stage gets to the mine. Later, it returns to town with a note from the Kiyotee naming Selden and suggesting more guards next time.
