The sheriff goes off after the stage because it's carrying ten million in cash. The Kid decides to pay a visit Grimley to learn more about his encounter. He learns that the horses on that coach acted strange ever since their original rider Sam McGee went missing during a ride to Pine Pitch when the stage was trampled. Ringo then pays a visit to the telegraph office and asks the attendant to let him know if the coach makes it to Pine Pitch okay.

Later the Ringo Kid is told that the coach made it to Pine Pitch, but when it is loaded up with gold it raced off on its own again. The Ringo Kid rides off to intercept it and comes across it as a gang of outlaws try to rob it. Once again the voice of the phantom speaks up frightening them and allowing the Kid to swoop in and disarm them. To his surprise, Sam McGee comes out of the back of the stage. He reveals that this is the gang who had originally robbed his stage on the day he disappeared. Their raid cost him his arm and his job and so he vowed to someday capture them.
