As the tensions escalate, a young girl named Megan prays for God to send help to the miners. Just then, the Preacher arrives riding a pale horse, and his formidable presence strikes fear into LaHood and his men.
The Preacher offers to help the miners in exchange for room and board. He quickly becomes a mentor to Megan and develops a rapport with the miners, who come to trust him despite his mysterious past.
As the Preacher begins to investigate LaHood's shady dealings, he realizes that the corrupt sheriff is also on the wealthy landowner's payroll. The Preacher and the miners band together to protect their land and their livelihoods, resulting in a thrilling showdown with LaHood and his villainous cohorts.
