They take the money and place it in a covered wagon in which Vicky has already secreted herself, believing the wagon belongs to Tom. She realizes too late she is in the power of two desperate characters. Tom arrives to meet Vicky, is discovered by Gilmore, who thinks that Tom has robbed him. However, Tom proves by footprints and wagon tracks that others have robbed Gilmore of his money, and have abducted his daughter.
