Reese comes up with the perfect plan to catch Linda Littletrees, use Joe, who she is in love with, as bait. Parmalee says they might use the plan but then orders Reese, Chad and Joe to stay off the ""streets"". Reese and Joe are walking down an ""alley"" when they run into three escaping prisoners, two of Littletrees gang and William Tinney, a Ranger from Company A posing as an outlaw to gain the confidence of Littletree's gang. Reese captures Tinney and Joe tracks the two escaped outlaws Max Vander and Blue Dog. Reese is sent to San Antonio to fill in for Tinney, who is to continue his undercover role. The Captain and Chad spend their time waiting and worrying about Joe's safety. Joe is captured by Littletrees gang and locked in a room where she serenades him and has a wedding suit laid out for him.

Captain Parmalee receives an invitation to the reading of Jake Ringo's will, a man he arrested who has been hanged. Parmalee will be the only law officer amongst a who's who of criminals that includes Linda Littletrees. Chad and Joe, who Linda has feelings for, are to accompany Parmalee but Chad convinces Erik that Linda is like Pocahontas and he takes Joe's place. The meeting place is the Halfway Mansion which has the America-Mexico Border line running right down the middle of the house. The will states that the money gets split evenly among everyone, as long as they are alive. Since this is a group that already hates each other Captain Parmalee, Chad and Eric have their hands full as they try to stay alive, arrest those they can and return the $75,000.
