Dan's past comes back to haunt him when an old girlfriend convinces him to marry her — the gun pointed at his head is very convincing. The Wild Boys are also being threatened by a new bushranger in town, Captain Moonlite, who's dangerous, eccentric and rather elusive. Emilia's new suitor, Rupert Wentworth, chosen by her father, turns out to be more charming than Emilia imagined, if not a little flamboyant. Meanwhile, in an effort to protect Tommy, Jack puts his life on the line at the miner's court.
