Juanita moves to Saltillo, and Juan follows her to find work and make a home for her. Work is scarce, and Juanita's mother has no use for a penniless peon. Luckily, Juan strikes a job. Tony, Tom Darby's fireman on the drill engine, has just been discharged for knifing Darby, and Juan is hired to take his place. The new job makes a new man of the peon. It also brings him into favor with Juanita's mother, who allows Juan to take Juanita for a walk. They pass a consignment of gold en route from the mine to the express office. Juan returns to work, but not for long. The Division Master has stolen the gold consignment, held up the station on the road, and the order includes Juan. So he is out of a job, and when Juanita's mother hears the news, he is out of a sweetheart also. He goes to the depot next morning, hoping to find the order canceled. Instead, he finds the station agent lying on the platform badly wounded, and the drill engine vanishing in the distance
