Description: A railroad representative forces farmers to give up the land the railroad is going through, giving them $1 per acre (much less than fair price) for it. When they come to Jesse's home, Jesse tells Barshee that his mother Mrs Samuels (Jane Darwell) is the farm's owner. Frank and Jesse learn that Barshee is responsible for the death of their mother and Jesse kills him in revenge. Three years later, with a $5,000 reward on his head, Jesse marries Zee and turns himself in, at her insistence.
