At the office of Hedley Lamarr, Taggart shows Hedley where on the map they found the quicksand and tells him the railroad will have to go through the town of Rock Ridge. They hear a noise and Hedley asks Boris if he can hang people more quietly. Hedley comes up with the plan of stealing the land of Rock Ridge so the railroad will have to pay him millions to run their railroad through it. Taggart comes up with the idea of riding into Rock Ridge and causing so much terror that the people will leave. Taggart asks Hedley if he would have Bart hung and Hedley agrees to it. Governor Lepetomane is holding a meeting with Hedley who asks him to sign a bill taking land from Native Americans due to it being unsafe for them in exchange for a box of paddle balls. Hedley also hands him a bill to sign that would transform the insane asylum into a gambling hall for the insane. Miss Stein tells Governor Lepetomane about a telegram from Rock Ridge stating they need a new sheriff immediately. Hedley comes up with the idea to send Bart as the new sheriff as a way to offend the citizens and cause them to leave. Hedley brings Bart to Governor Lepetomane's office and at first Governor Lepetomane disagrees with Hedley's choice of Bart, but Hedley convinces him that by making Bart the sheriff, he will go down in history. Later, Hedley goes to Lili Von Shtupp's dressing room and asks her to seduce Bart. After she fails to seduce Bart, Hedley has Lili tied up in his office and after she tells him he is finished, he comes up with an idea to build an army to fight Rock Ridge and he has Taggart take a message down to hire any kind of thug. A long line of thugs gather to sign up for the attack on Rock Ridge. Gum Chewer goes to sign up, but is shot dead when Hedley catches him chewing gum and not having enough to give to everyone. Bart and Jim try to spy on the group by dressing as Klu Klux Klanners, but are caught. The citizens of Rock Ridge and Taggart's men get into a huge fight that spills into the studio commissary and more people join the fight. Hedley runs away from the Warner Brothers Pictures studio and takes a taxi to the Mann's Chinese Theatre. Hedley goes inside the theater and watches as Bart shows up to the theater on a horse. Bart tells Hedley to draw, but Hedley lies and says he is unarmed. Hedley then tries to shoot Bart, who shoots Hedley in the crotch.
