Dan walks outside with his posse and pours whiskey on Al Denton's head and offers to give him a bottle of whiskey if he sings a song.

Al sings the song and as Al walks up to the saloon to get his drink, Dan notices the gun he is holding. Dan challenges Al to a gunfight and both Liz and Charlie try to get Dan to stop. Al tries to avoid the fight and in the process randomly fires the gun, hitting Dan in his shooting wrist. Dan walks into the saloon and again challenges Al and Al accidentally shoots the chandelier, causing it to fall on Dan.
