Synopsis
To avoid McGinty discovering he has no Gatling gun, Shawn drives the cart over a cliff. He provokes McGinty into a dual and talks his way out of certain death by promising McGinty stolen gold. The pair head to Cairo and are caught in a storm. They seek shelter in a cabin without knowing Ben and Sharon Ames are inside. Shawn's cover is blown and McGinty takes Sharon hostage, but is beaten by the force of the tornado and Shawn. McGinty is taken into custody and Ben permits Shawn to dine with his daughter.
