- Army Major, commander of his post, feeling denigrated by the Army, steals the Army's cash on his last day and packages it for Favor to mail to the Major who plans to abscond, but new information causes him to try returning it to Army.
- Major Cantwell, who has devoted himself to the Army his entire life, is the commanding officer of an Army outpost, and is about to retire. His life goal was to become a Brigadier General, and had reached Colonel rank, but was demoted to Major due to a record-keeping infraction that he was found guilty of, but was actually innocent. Feeling disgruntled, he steals the $32,500 in Army cash the day before his departure. He put the cash in a package, addressed to himself, for Favor to mail at the nearest town. Cantwell's plan was to pick up the cash and remain hidden in Mexico. Unfortunately for the Major, however, enlisted soldier Kaster, (who was severely punished by Cantwell for drinking on duty), happened to be leaving the Army, joined Favor's trail drive and steals the package from Favor's saddle bags, knowing it is from Cantwell and he's hoping there's liquor inside. Meanwhile Cantwell, still on duty as commanding officer, gets word that his innocence was established and that he is being promoted to Brigadier General so he can retire at that pay grade. So Cantwell has a change of heart and rides after Favor to get the cash package. When it is found missing, Cantwell and Favor ride after Kaster - and the events that follow have serious ramifications for all involved.—canadazbest
- Major Cantwell takes receipt of $32,500 for the fort's payroll and expenses as he retires. After bringing in a herd, the Major asks Favor to mail a personal package for him. Before Favor leaves, a man Kaster kicked out the Army for drinking asks to work for Favor. Favor has no work but lets him ride with the drovers. Captain Wayly, arrives to relieve the Major telling him he is to report to Washington for a citation and to receive a promotion to General due to his court martial being overturned. The Major stole the post funds putting them in the package. He rides to the drover camp to retrieve the package but Favor finds it missing. After searching the camp, they realize Kaster stole it thinking it is liquor. The Major won't say why the package is so important but Favor decides to go with him to catch Kaster. Needing to return to the herd, Favor forces him to say why the package is so important. As Favor leaves Kaster appears severely wounding the Major. Favor is forced to go after Kaster leaving the Major to watch for him. Kaster escapes Favor but is fatally shot by the Major. Favor returns the Major to the fort where he replaces the money but dies turning over command.—Anonymous
