When he begins beating her, she stabs him in the back and then hits him on the head with a rolling pin. Believing that she has killed her husband, she catches up with Clayton and persuades him to escort her to town, where she can catch the train. Matthew recovers from his wounds and gets his family to help him track down his wife and her lover.On the way, Clayton and Catherine run into one of Matthews relatives, who becomes suspicious. Clayton warns the man that he has not chance against a professional gunfighter, then shoots the revolver out of his opponents hand.
