- A wagon train master forces a young couple to marry after they hide the fact that one is a girl, and Lucas takes them in to help them; but trouble soon arises when a drunken crowd calls for a Shivaree.
- Lucas McCain becomes involved in the matter of a young couple who are forced to get married by wagon master Aaron Pelser. The young couple were on their way to Yuma to marry there but now married and homeless in North Fork, Lucas offers them a home until they can get on their feet. Several of the hands on the wagon train want to have a shivaree, a party where they keep the newlyweds up all night. Lucas and Marshall Micah Torrance sense trouble and when Chet Packard kidnaps the girl, their fears prove to be well-founded.—garykmcd
- What is a shivaree? a noisy mock serenade (made by banging saucepans, kettles, and other objects) to wish a newly married couple well. It was at first performed before the house of any person of advanced age who married a second time. When this mid-19th century French tradition gets out of hand, the law must intervene before someone does get hurt!
