The story

A railroad representative named Barshee forces farmers to give up land a railroad is going to go through, giving them $1 per acre (much less than fair price) for it. When they come to Jesse's home, Barshee is told by Jesse that his mother Mrs Samuels is the farm's owner. Barshee repeatedly tries to force her into selling, until her other son Frank James gets involved.
