After escaping the law, Jeff reaches the cabin of Lizbet Tollington, Annabelle's niece, and the fiancée of trapper Pete Oliver, who is Annabelle's former lover. To avoid detection, Lizbet conceals Jeff from the law. Meanwhile, Annabelle informs Pete that Lizbet is sheltering a man in her cabin to break their engagement, which infuriates Pete.
