Mark was being cared for by Kay ( Marilyn Monroe ), a saloon performer, but Matt took him in and settled on a newly purchased farm. One day, Matt rescued Kay and her husband Harry ( Lorrie Calhoun ), who were drifting on a raft in the river that flowed outside the farm. Harry, a gambler, was on his way to Council City with Kay to register his poker winnings. When Matt told Harry that the river was dangerous, Harry took Matt's horse and food at gunpoint, beat up Matt when he tried to take his gun, and left alone, leaving Kay to be annoyed by Harry's attitude. When Matt regained his composure after Kay took care of him, the farm was about to be attacked by Indians. He immediately took Kay and Mark on a raft down the rapids. Matt wanted to get revenge on Harry, but Kay tried to stop him as much as possible, and in the course of an argument, Matt revealed that he had once shot a man in the back. On the second night, while Matt was picking up Kay from her bath, Mark was almost attacked by a wildcat, but was saved by two men passing by. The two men, who had been cheating Harry out of his gold dust, tried to act suspiciously toward Kay, but were chased away by Matt. Matt and the three men finally arrived at Council City, escaping the relentless pursuit of the Indians. Kay advised Harry to apologize to Matt, and Harry pretended to accept the advice. Mark, seeing this, unintentionally took a gun from his side and shot Harry in the back, saving his father's life. He remembered his father's incident and renewed his respect for his father. Kay was about to leave the town, but Matt stopped her, and the three of them started a new life together.
