The group finds themselves in the town of Promontory, where they meet an elderly couple in trouble. After a scuffle on the street, the couple seeks to hire Meryl and Milly as their bodyguards to defend their plot of fertile land until they can deliver the deed to City Hall. They are unaware that the land is being coveted by a ruthless landowner who has hired the rest of the Nebraska family (see "Hard Puncher" above) to stake his claim.
