) sniff around the idea of re-teaming. Whereas Travis risks his life freeing desperadoes like Sam Stone from the hangman's noose to insure their gratitude as a future annuity, Moses divides his time between raising a large clan and rounding up outlaw gangs. Mistrusting his goof-off brother, Moses is too tempted by a record-breaking reward not to accept Travis's assistance in tracking the very same Sam Stone.

Mistaken for the bad guys when their plan to apprehend the Stone gang during a bank robbery backfires, Moses survives the gallows because of his enormous girth. Once out of police custody, the brothers are captured by Stone. Travis saves both their necks by reminding Stone of how he helped him elude capital punishment.
The brothers finally make it to Maw's house. After Christmas dinner gets ruined by townsfolk itching for a rematch with the bounty-hunting brothers, the family pulls together to outsmart their uninvited guest, the greedy Stone, who's looking for a fortune that's purportedly hidden on their land. United in a common purpose, the family ties Stone up.
