Brooder walks in to The Learned Goat Bar. He orders a drink from Clarence and Clarence suggests he pay the Pianist to play some music when Brooder complains how quiet it is. Brooder pays for three songs and the Pianist turns his sign with the cost of songs over and points to the sign which has starting rate 1 drink on the back. Sheriff Hunt and Chicory go into the bar and Sheriff Hunt questions Purvis. Hunt has Chicory search Purvis and threatens Purvis that if he moves, he will shoot him. Purvis tries to run and Hunt shoots him in the leg. Hunt tells Brooder to go and get Doc Taylor. Brooder tells Samantha she is needed to treat Purvis when he finds Doc Taylor too drunk. A group gathers at The Learned Goat and Mr. Wallington asks Hunt what he intends to do about finding his horses. The Professor arrives and tells Hunt that the arrow is from a tribe of cave dwellers. Hunt asks The Professor if will take him to where the cave dwellers live, but The Professor refuses. He tells them the cave dwellers are called Troglodytes. Chicory tells Hunt, he is coming with him and Brooder says he is going to, as he was the one who got Samantha involved. Hunt, Arthur and Brooder meet in front of the sheriff's office. They head west and as they camp, Brooder sets up a trip line. They make camp once more and during the night, Ramiro and Guapo appear at the boundary of their camp. Hunt tells them to come forward and as they are walking towards camp with their hands up, Brooder shoots them dead. Brooder tells Hunt that Ramiro and Guapo were scouts for a raiding party, but Hunt tells him he doesn't know that for sure. They leave and make another camp and Chicory tells Brooder, he shouldn't have shot Ramiro and Guapo. During the night a Mexican Man breaks into their camp and attacks Brooder. Arthur then shoots and kills the Mexican Man, but most of the horses have been taken. Arthur tells Brooder that his horse resisted and Brooder goes over and shoots Saucy to put her out of her misery. Arthur starts to fall behind and he tells the others to mark their path with four stones. He finally makes it to camp and is woken up a few hours later. Brooder makes a joke about flirting with Samantha and when Arthur punches him, he re-fractures his leg. Chicory looks at his leg and Hunt tells Arthur that he is staying. Chicory gives Arthur some opium and then sets Arthur's leg again. While they are walking they hear calls and Hunt realizes they have been spotted. As they are walking into a valley, Brooder sees horse tracks. They follow a path that leads to an opening with a cave on the side of a cliff. Suddenly three arrows come at them, and they are all wounded. A Troglodyte charges at Chicory and he shoots him dead. Brooder is going for his rifle when the Troglodyte's weapon that flew away when he was shot, severs Brooder's hand. Brooder tells Hunt to give him some dynamite and leave him. He waits and another Troglodyte charges at him and Brooder manages to shoot him before Brooder's head is cleaved with a jaw bone axe.
