After fighting again in the saloon, Parmalee assigns the men to escort a load of buffalo hides as punishment. Reese and Chad are fighting over the saloon girl Princess plus Chad is being chased by the wife of Louis Montaigne who owns a general store. When Princess and her co-worker are fired due to the fights, they need to leave town and Mrs. Montaigne decides to leave her husband. Chad and Reese include the three women on the trip without anyone else knowing. Montaigne is selling supplies to the Comanches and decides to sneak rifles inside the buffalo hides and let the Comanches take them by force. The rangers expecting in Joe's words a "picnic" find the trip to be anything but a picnic.
