They are circulating a petition to the governor for assistance in completing their road and ridding it of the gang, which is led by Rogers, a wealthy landowner whose goal is to drive out the townspeople and buy their land cheaply.

A shoot-out occurs, and George uses dynamite to fend off the attackers.
