Hunt and Roberto return to Denver to a telegram confirming Roberto's amnesty, along with praise from Colonel Markland and President Grant. Hunt sets Roberto up on the Clydesdale ranch, where he quickly proves himself capable. Back home, Hunt takes ownership of a large cattle herd that promptly stampedes through town. Meanwhile, his men race to Grand Junction to stop a gang of marauders tearing through towns, ranches, and Wells Fargo stations, robbing banks and killing lawmen along the way, including in Green River, where they hijack a train after their rampage. Despite warnings reaching Grand Junction ahead of them, the gang strikes again, and Hunt sends his men after the seven outlaws before they can do more damage.

Plot (may contains spoilers! - click to read)

Hunt and Roberto return to Denver, and, true to his word, a telegram awaits Hunt. Roberto is given amnesty, and Colonel Markland complimented Hunt on a job well done. ‘You have Ulysses and my gratitude.’ Colonel Markland closed by saying, Molly is a fan. Hunt places Roberto on the Clydesdale ranch, and Roberto learns fast and proves to be a great help. When Hunt arrives in Denver, he has an enormous herd of livestock to contend with. Hunt writes a check to the county and is the proud owner of a herd of cattle that breaks out of the holding corrals and stampedes through town. Hunt’s men travel to Grand Junction to stop a band of marauders ravaging every town, ranch, and Wells Fargo Station they come to. Robbers strike Green River and hijack the train after robbing the bank and shooting the sheriff. They arrive in Grand Junction, and even though the town is warned of their arrival, the sheriff is killed, and the bank is robbed. Hunt sends his men to find and stop the seven before they cause further damage to towns and their citizens.
