Two men need money so they sell lamb cheaply to the residents of Walnut Grove, knowing that it might be infected with anthrax. Charles and Jonathan Garvey go out to get the medicine but a man holds them up while they are returning and steals the wagon. Charles and Jonathan follow him to his house and convince the crazed man and his wife to let them have the medicine. Many of the infected die, including the men who sold the lamb meat to the town. But all the main characters are saved with the timely arrival of the medicine.
