She gives him a spoonful of liniment and rubs Castor oil on his face. He awakes and tells her he's been chasing moonshiners. She vows to capture them, dons her Mountie mascot uniform, and sets out in pursuit. She gets the draw on three of them, but a fourth grabs her. She continues to follow them past Moonshine River to the moonshiners' hideout. She loses her uniform and is lassoed by the ringleader. A Mountie should always get her man, but is she resourceful enough to turn this into an opportunity?
