When Marston's men attack the Aboriginals who helped them, Quigley kills three. Escaping on a single horse, they encounter more of the men driving Aboriginals over a cliff. Quigley drives them off with his deadly shooting and Cora rescues an orphaned baby she finds among the dead Aboriginals. Leaving Cora and the infant in the desert with food and water, Quigley rides alone to a nearby town. There he obtains new ammunition from a local German gunsmith, who hates Marston for his murdering ways. Quigley learns as well that he has become a legendary hero among the Aboriginals.
