The bus stops in Fairfield, Oregon and Molly goes to the rodeo. Duke Hudkins is bucked off his horse into her lap. She has a great time with Duke, shooting craps, drinking and getting into a fight. She is forced to travel with Duke and Waco, his side kick. When Molly takes Duke's horse's blanket and the horse gets sick, Duke is very concerned and she wishes he felt the same about her. The bus trip back is very dreary for her and she is met by the same three men. 541 1 |dReceived: 6/21/68;|316 mm. ref print;|cpurchase, replacing 35 mm. nitrate original received ca. 1943; |aCopyright Collection. 541 1 |dReceived: 5/17/96;|3b&w master;|cdeposited with colorized version received as copyright deposit--RNR; |aCopyight Collection. 541 1 |dReceived: 5/17/96;|3col. master;|ccopyright deposit-- RNR;|aCopyight Collection. 541 0 PFA 1616-01-7240.
