While the search is on for Sparkle and Wingy, Rughead finds Rainbow, Sparkle and Wingy living in his house. Rughead is upset when he sees the two girls wearing some of the furs he has hijacked in the past. They tell him they found them lying around on the ground. Rughead gathers up the furs and hides them in fake hay bales. He also puts Wingy and Sparkle inside a fake bale and tells the driver to get rid of the kids. Rughead tries to make Rainbow his partner, but she wants no part of the deal. Her only concern is for the kids.
