Chester reads an in two month old paper for brides for rich Colorado miners. Lee and Harve rob Jonas' general store. Matt rides out to find them. He finds Polly Mims, who ran away from a wagon train. The wagonmaster is Carl Feester, with eight women heading to the Colorado miners. Florida, who's in charge of the women tells Feester he can get $100 ahead. Matt and Polly reach the train. They have heard the Arapaho are the warpath. Matt says he will ride with them to Fort Wallace. Feester and Bowman his helper says they'll kill Matt later. Two Indians come up to the train. They need water for an injured boy. Matt obliges. They circle the wagons for the evening. Matt tells Florida he knows the women are to be dance hall girls. Carl wakes Polly to take a walk, she refuses. Matt cleans his clock. Matt hears indians. About a dozen Indians ride up. Matt goes out to talk. Chief Red Knife says your water saved my son, we no burn your wagons. At Fort Wallace Matt asks the Captain if there is anyway to keep the women from going to Colorado. They have a dance. The women all pair off with troopers. Grant tells Feester life of a trooper's wife is rough but better than a dance hall. Feister and Bowman are escorted out. The two guys that Matt was after were deserters. Now caught, they are doing two years hard labor. Add a recap »
