Blackwell sends for his gang to slay the boys and clear the field for himself, but another gang, attracted by the jewelry of the dowagers, invades the scene. A pitched battle ensues when the rival gangs meet in the hotel lobby, and when the sheriff arrives, Wilbur and Ganzy modestly admit saving the jewels.
