Lucas tries to stop two young men from stealing a horse and is forced to shoot it out with them. One thief is killed, the other is captured. Shortly thereafter, the Matriarch of a backwoods clan appears in town, backed by her tough and imposing family of boys. She announces that the two thieves were her sons, and she is in town to get the man who killed and captured them. It looks as though Lucas will have to defend himself against the whole family, but Mark unexpectedly supplies the solution.
