A man suddenly proposes to Wendy Moore at her family home, triggering her father's violent reaction. Mr. Moore — who boasts he's ruled the underworld for 20 years — insults the suitor, calls him a coward and orders him thrown out, even vowing "I'll break just one of his legs." Wendy cries "Dad! Leave him alone," while the suitor insists he's happy she came with him. After a scuffle, an apologetic crew member offers to pay for damaged guns and is driven off. Other onlookers note the suitor has changed, leaving the father's threat and a looming clash unresolved.
