Three men kidnap Lily and Johnny after the Birdcage closes. Both are blindfolded and hauled to a farmstead where Johnny is tied up and recovering from the blow he suffered. Lily tends to Johnny while they wait. The men left Troop a note to wait 48 hours for orders or Lily will be killed. Troop is forced to wait while wanting to go after them. Johnny is brought to town with a note giving Troop instructions to take Lily's money out of the bank and have the stagecoach drop it off at a flag. Meanwhile, Troop has Johnny recall events he heard, smelled, or felt to decide where to look for Lily reaching her as the man with the money returns.
