Despite Lucky's warning, the governor who wants to limit prison costs allows rancher Joe to take the Daltons for 'rehabilitation trough farm labor'. Thre crooks find earning their keep under a foreman's whip intolerable, ironically most of all Averel, although he is spoiled to his brothers' envy by farmer's wife Cynthia, who has the hots for the tall idiot, who alas hates kisses so much Lucky finds him in jail having dug a tunnel back in. By the time Joe manages to mount their escape, they get both Lucky and a woman scorned on their trail.
