Tha Sgiobair Pat a' feitheamh gus a dhol dhan chùirt airson muirt Skookum Jim, ach tha e air a shàbhaladh nuair a tha seann charaid dha, Peachy Taylor, a' ruighinn a' bhaile agus a' toirt a chreidsinn gur e am britheamh a bhiodh dha chuir sa chùirt airson muirt. Tha Estella Hopkins air a' phàisd Maois a chuir fo a cùram fhèin san Golden Nugget, ged tha seo a' dèanamh dragh mhòr
dha Iacob. Ach tha Estella cinnteach gu bheil ì airson a thogail mar gur ann leatha fhèin a tha e. Tha cò-ogha uilc nan Connollys, Micky Ban, a' marcaich a-steach dhan bhaile agus e a' sireadh fortain 's e a' sùileachadh tòrr airgid bho Tom is eile. Aig a' cheart àm, fhad 's a tha Pàdraig Connolly agus Bridget Mannion a' dùileachadh pòsadh, tha plàigh de fhiabhras breac a' cur daoine sa bhaile fo iomagain, mur as urrainn dha Pàdraig dàil a chuir air a' phòsadh agus caisg a chuir air a' phlàigh seo le cuideachadh bho Dr Dunn.

Captain Pat, who is due to stand trial for the murder of Skookum Jim, looks like he is saved when old acquaintance Peachy Taylor arrives in town posing as the judge who was due to try him for murder. Estella Hopkins has now taken baby Moses into her care in the Golden Nugget much to Jacob's annoyance, but she is adamant she wishes to raise him as her own.

Mean-spirited country cousin of the Connollys, Micky Ban, rides into town seeking his fortune expecting a big hand out from Tom and co. Meanwhile, just as Padraig Connolly and Bridget Mannion decide to get married, an outbreak of typhoid in the town has everyone worried, unless Padraig can postpone the marriage and contain the outbreak with the help of Dr Dunn.
