He falls in love with Alice, asks her father for her hand, and is accepted. Montana Blount, upon hearing of the engagement of Alice and George, sends George a note saying that he will harm him if he should run across him. Months go by, and George is out surveying on the same range where Blount is herding. They meet, and Blount, whose anger has died out, is very glad to see George. One day, George, while out in the fields, is bitten by a large snake and Blount, who sees this, shoots the snake. The boys who delivered Blount's threatening note happen to be on a nearby mountainside, see Blount shooting and misunderstand the meaning. Seeing George fall from the snake's bit, they run to the village and inform the authorities that Blount has killed George. The Vigilance Committee starts to hunt Blount, who has left George on the field while he has gone for medical aid. Blount is seen in the distance, and the Vigilance Committee commence firing. Blount, not understanding the meaning, fires back in order to protect himself, but is cornered in a stable, and when he is about to be smoked out, George, who, in the meantime has been picked up by some friendly Indians, arrives and informs the Vigilantes of their mistake.
