Trigger leaves his mares for Uncle Mike Hanford's mountain cabin, leads him to a wounded mare at Gunsight Notch, creased by a bullet. Mike tracks another creased mare, meets lawman Mark Denham, tracking "Mad Dog" mail robber Dirk Gillian who broke out of prison two days ago. (Denham's posse is on the other side of the Notch.) The two men join up. Gillian lays in ambush, shoots lawman Denham in the shoulder, while Uncle Mike falls and hits his head on a rock. Trigger relieves the outlaw of his pistol, and runs him off. Tending to Denham, a revived Uncle Mike hears Gillian, now armed with a rifle, rustling in the brush, and unloads on him with both pistols. The outlaw flees on horseback, thinking it is the posse. Uncle Mike retrieves Denham's horse, leaves horse and a canteen with the wounded lawman, mounts Trigger, and tracks Gillian headed toward Mike's own cabin. Mike traps and binds the outlaw, but his pistol is empty as sidewinder rattlesnakes attack. Trigger dispatches one sidewinder, and its mate slithers off as Denham and the posse arrive. Trigger, "take a bow."
