- Accused of being the masked robber of the general store, a homesteader agrees to come along quietly with Matt and Chester, but he asks that they help him complete a few chores about the place for his poor wife, who's in the family way.
- After a store has been robbed in town, the Marshall and Chester ride out to Clint Dodie's (Jack Elam) ranch to arrest him for the crime. He can't afford to be away from his spread; with a pregnant wife and no one to help her 'make do' while he's locked up, he plays on their good hearts to assist him in finishing up a mess of chores before he goes in to face the consequences of his act. They help him fix up the ranch buildings in the face of a bitter cold wind storm, ride 3 miles down country to round up his 30 head of sheep that had scattered before the storm, & plucked and cleaned a few chickens for her to eat. They then had to stay the night since getting back to town would be impossible before dark.
But all is not what it seems, Clint has a secret he's hiding from the lawmen, and Doc has news when he comes by in the morning to look in on the pregnant wife.
