At Lordsburg, Gatewood is arrested by the local sheriff, and Mrs. Mallory learns that her husband's wound is not serious. She thanks Dallas, who gives Mrs. Mallory her shawl. Dallas then begs Ringo not to confront the Plummers, but he is determined to settle matters, and as they walk through town, he sees the brothel to which she is returning. Luke Plummer, who is playing poker in one of the saloons, hears of Ringo's arrival, and gets his brothers to join him. Ringo survives the three-against-one shootout that follows, and then surrenders to Curley, expecting to go back to prison. As Ringo boards a wagon, Curley invites Dallas to ride with them to the edge of town, but when she does so, Curley and Doc stampede the horses, letting Ringo "escape" with Dallas toward the Mexican border.
