The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing

Cat Dancing is raped and murdered, shattering Grobart. In his fury, he kills the man responsible for the crime. His actions set in motion a chain of events that leads to his arrest.

Grobart is arrested for the murder of the rapist. After serving a period in custody, he is released, free once again to seek a new path.

Soon after his release, Grobart reunites with Dawes, Charlie, and Billy to pull off a bold train robbery. The heist puts them on the run and strains their loyalties as the law closes in.

The group encounters Catherine, fleeing her abusive husband Crocker. Dawes and Billy abduct her, but Grobart intervenes and tries to protect her from their violence.

Laplance, a veteran railroad detective, leads a posse in pursuit of the train robbers. Catherine's husband Crocker accompanies the posse, determined to retrieve his wife and assert control.

On the run, Grobart and Catherine grow close and begin to fall for each other. She admires his courage and the vengeance he seeks for the woman he loved.

Dawes brutalizes Billy, inflicting internal injuries that threaten his life. Grobart leaves the others at an old cabin for a day to pursue his own course while the danger outside grows.

Marauding Indians attack the cabin, killing Billy and Charlie. Dawes escapes with part of the stolen money, while Grobart returns to drive off the raiders in a furious confrontation.

Dawes locates Grobart and Catherine, rapes Catherine, and plans to finish Grobart. Grobart shoots and kills Dawes, ending the immediate threat to Catherine and the group.

Grobart and Catherine reach the Shoshone village where Cat Dancing once lived. They discover his children now live with Cat Dancing's brother Iron Knife, and the past begins to press in on him.

It is revealed that Grobart had previously strangled Cat Dancing after believing she slept with the rapist. The revelation forces him to confront the consequences of his actions and his haunted past.

The posse arrives at the village and retrieves the railroad money. They spend the night there, tensions simmering as they prepare for the next move.

Catherine and Dream Speaker depart to find Grobart, with Dream Speaker guiding her to a cave in the hills where Grobart is camped. The journey marks a turning point as love faces danger.

The following morning, Crocker shoots Grobart from the trees as the couple prepares to leave. Catherine returns fire, killing Crocker, and Grobart, wounded, is saved by Catherine as they embrace.

Laplance leaves Crocker's body for the pack animal and departs with the recovered money. Grobart pulls himself to his feet and reunites with Catherine, choosing love and safety over a life of crime.
