Meanwhile, Jackson, realizing that the young Ray Scott is tries to convince Annie, the lead singer of the saloon, to escape with him to Mexico. A young Mexcan threatens to publicly tell that he knows about Jackson's organization. Although wounded, he manages to escape from town. A ruthless manhunt for the bandits begins but the fugitive Mexican finds in Ringo an insurmountable obstacle. The ranger cannot let the posse capture the only person who could blame the forger and his accomplices. After ups and downs Ringo manages to expose all the components of the organization and find out that the sheriff is Victor Mellin, the forger.
