Algum tempo depois os dois socorrem Kay Weston (Marilyn Monroe), uma cantora de saloon que conheciam, e Harry Westo (Rory Calhoun), seu namorado, quando tentavam atravessar um perigoso rio em uma balsa. Mas Harry está tão ansioso em registrar uma concessão de ouro que ele diz que ganhou em um jogo e fere Matt, que o salvou, pois quer um cavalo e uma arma a qualquer custo.
