Sheriff Townley and Hank Roper see a truck being hijacked with supplies headed for the New Pueblo Dam. Hank sends the Sheriff to continue chasing the bandits as he stays to use his pronounced rope skills to untie the drivers. After releasing the drivers, he catches up with the sheriff. Hank suggests looking in Painted Gulch, the last place the bandits had been seen. Townley thinks Hank is "plumb loco" as they had already canvassed the area.
