Joe thrown off her property, but he produces a document from the county surveyor stating that his spread is on the reservation. Louis and Annie go into the bar after Mary. To avoid the family argument, Glenda joins George on the steps where they plan their getaways, he to Los Angeles, she to Pittsburgh. Kellenbach realizes that the Electra has been dismantled and threatens to sue Joe if he doesn't pay. Gran'Pere suggests trial in the old Indian way: Tie him to a post surrounded by fire; if he is truly innocent, Great Spirit will send a sign. Joe volunteers in order to show he's part of the tribe. Unwilling to witness such barbarism, Kellenbach drops the charges, but Gran'Pere claims only Great Spirit can decide, then ignites the fire. Hidden by the smoke, Glenda supervises the return of the automobile parts. When the smoke clears, the parts are revealed and Gran'Pere interprets it as a sign of Joe's innocence. Joe is reunited with Glenda, and Kellenbach with his Buick. On the Montana State Highway, troopers pull over a Greyhound bus and seize one of its passengers: George Potter. Glenda and Joe exchange "I do's" and Glenda's Place opens under new management. Kellenbach needs Joe to sign a release for the car, but Joe now intends to buy it as a wedding present for his wife. When Kellenbach still refuses credit to the Indian, Mary intercedes, daring him to extend a little human credit and not judge all Indians by her brother. The troopers bring George to Kellenbach who entrusts him to Mary who has accepted the boy's proposal. Kellenbach is made a blood brother - Big Mouth Thunder Talker - by Gran'Pere. Suddenly, two strangers approach and arrest Joe. The authorities had an anonymous tip that Glenda's Place sold liquor on a government reservation. Joe's plan to get even with Glenda has backfired in a big way. Or has it? As Joe is carried off grinning, Glenda reprises "Men," but is cut off by the falling curtain.
