Dick meets Red's daughter Ann, who is prohibited from seeing Dick again. When she is caught signaling him from the mountain peak, her father binds her hands and feet and places her in a mine. Dick rushes to save her but is first confronted with Hobbs; a fist fight ensues, and Hobbs rolls into the river and drowns.
