History

At a bridge crossing, Cactus Charlie and his gang have sawed through some of the boards in order to set a trap for Wyatt Earp. When Earp and his horse Justice ride across, the boards breaks sending him into the raging river and, as the outlaws hope, to his death. However, Earp is fast thinking in the raging rapids: climbing onto Justice he uses his rope to snare a passing tree branch and uses it to climb to safety and pulling Justice to shore.

Thinking that Wyatt Earp is dead, Charlie and his men head to Wichita to rob the bank. The outlaws rob the bank and ride off toward the bridge where they seemingly killed Wyatt Earp. Unable to find the marshal, the locals gather up a posse to and chase after then. However when they catch up to the outlaws they find none of the stolen money and they are forced to let them go.

Cactus Charlie and his men then ride to where the river drops into a water fall. At the bottom they had set a net to catch the loot when they dumped it. When they pull the bundle out of the blanket that are shocked to find that the money has been replaced with leaves and a note warning them to reach as someone is behind them. When they turn around they find that Wyatt Earp has gotten the drop on them. Earp then takes them to town and returns the stolen money.[1]
