The Jute family takes over the Marshal's office with two hostages - a young boy and Lily. They're in town to free Lester Jute, arriving on the 9:05 train. Dan Troop has a risky plan but it has grave danger for both the boy and Lily.
Pa Jutes and two sons take over the Laramie Marshal's office while Troop and McKay are eating dinner. Pa Jutes asks the paper boy to bring Lily to the office where Jutes holds both as hostages. Jutes demands that Troop take his third son Lester off the 9:05 train. He is on his way to be hanged. Pa Jutes clears the street shooting the paperboy's father in doing so to show he means business. Troop verifies that Lester is on the train and when it arrives takes his clothes and has Johnny take his place. The fake Lester draws Pa Jutes out of the office into the street where Johnny shoots him. Troop kills the two sons inside the office with the aid of Lily and Johnny's spur.—Anonymous
