Arthur is laid up on his couch with a broken tibia. Samantha gets upset with Arthur for sulking about his broken leg and reminds him she advised him not to go on the roof when it was raining. Samantha treats Arthur's leg and she asks him to read a letter he wrote her when he was on the range. They hear a knock on the door and Brooder tells Samantha she is needed to treat Purvis. Later, Sheriff Hunt tells Arthur that Samantha will be awhile and Arthur asks Hunt how Lorna Hunt is doing. Hunt leaves and Arthur reads the letter he wrote Samantha. in the morning, Hunt tells Arthur, Samantha is missing. 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. A map is brought out and The Professor tells them about a place called the Valley of the Starving Men where the Troglodytes live. Chicory tells Hunt, he is coming with him and Brooder says he is going to, as he was the one who got Samantha involved. Before leaving, Arthur grabs the letter he wrote Samantha. Hunt, Arthur and Brooder meet in front of the sheriff's office and Hunt tells Arthur that they need to stay calm, cool and collected. They head west and as they camp, Brooder sets up a trip line. Arthur checks his leg and sees that he has reopened the wound and changes the dressing. Hunt takes Arthur's bottle of opium away so he doesn't get too high. 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 leaves camp to make up for how slow he will be while the others sleep. He 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. Hunt tells Arthur that Chicory will have to amputate his leg, but Arthur refuses and asks Chicory to reset it. Chicory gives Arthur some opium and then sets Arthur's leg again. Arthur wakes up and starts following the path left by Hunt. He hears howling and prays for help. Two Troglodytes sneak up on Arthur, but he manages to kill both of them. He inspects the body of one and finds a bone whistle embedded in his throat. He gets close to the cave and blows on the bone whistle. A Troglodyte charges at him and he shoots and kills the Troglodyte. Arthur goes inside of a cave and Hunt yells to Arthur that there is a Troglodyte with a rifle. Boar Tusks shoots Hunt in the chest and as Boar Tusks is walking away, Hunt grabs a jaw club and cuts off Boar Tusks' toes. Arthur shoots Boar Tusks and Hunt uses the club to cut off Boar Tusks' head. Hunt tells Chicory that he is going to stay to kill the remaining three male Troglodytes and he wants Chicory to escort Arthur and Samantha home. Before he leaves, Hunt tells Chicory to say goodbye to his wife and have a talk with Arthur. As they are leaving, Arthur, Samantha and Chicory come across Pregnant Troglodyte A and Pregnant Troglodyte B, who are limbless and have stakes shoved into their eyes. They hear three shots in the distance and realize Hunt has killed the remaining Troglodyte males. At night Chicory tells Arthur that he and Hunt discussed him becoming sheriff and Arthur agrees to it.
