Now that Sheriff Jones has been dealt with, Sheriff Ike Rowlett and Marshal Jack James turn their attention to catching the tax bandits and getting the governor to let Sharon Springs and its townsfolk get back to their quiet lives. When the identities of the bandits are finally revealed, many of the citizens step up to help protect their own and find a conclusion to the whole fiasco that everyone can live with while giving the governor what he wants.

If things work out, it just might be the start of a new life for Jack and the woman he loves.

With a few prayers, a little luck, and a lot of love, everyone just might be able to build some new family ties that will bind them all together for the rest of their lives.
