Paladin comes to the aid of Henry Grey, a shy man dominated by his religious mother. Henry paid $237 to bring a free-spirited Greek girl to the States to marry him, but she would rather marry neighboring farmer Rud Saxon than put up with Henry and his dour mother. Henry wants his money back, but Paladin realizes that he wants Callie as well and plays matchmaker.

A rancher hires Paladin to ride in a winner-take-all anything-goes Mouli horse race against the local Comanche tribe. The stakes: each sides' respective lands. However, when Paladin accidentally breaks the Comanche rider's arm beforehand, he switches sides and takes the brave's place.
