In prison Asa meets Orr again and they prove Asa's innocence, but when he returns, Asa finds that Nance has divorced him and is about to marry the now wealthy Couch for the sake of her child's education. Asa decides to leave, but Couch engages him in a duel and shoots him in the back before his own death after his horse throws him down a cliff. Asa and Nance now start their marriage anew.
