Rev. Egan Thomas is run out of Black River when Clay Morgan exposes his background as a felon to the townspeople. Morgan has one of his men try to kill Thomas outside of town but Joe kills the henchman telling Thomas to see Parmalee in Laredo. Parmalee knows Thomas and his background. After some thought Parmalee sends Erik and Chad to Black River posing as ministers asked there by Thomas.

The people send Chad in the accompany of Joe to buy building materials for a new church. Morgan sends his gang to kill them and exposes Erik as a Ranger telling the people Chad and Joe are Rangers stealing their money. It looks like Erik may be left to his own wits.—Anonymous
