In this short segment, Ruby goes outside to check the corncrib and she finds a man in a suit caught. She goes in to grab the loaded shotgun and walks back out to the thief. She finds that it is her lost father, the one who went to war and never showed Ruby any affection. She then talked to him and made him breakfast. However, she made him eat outside and then leave. She said that if she caught him back over here, she would put a round in his back. Later, he came back however for dinner. She let him in to eat. While at the dinner table, he told a story of how he played his fiddle well at army camps and how he was paid to play for a girl who was about to pass away. Then, he played a tune for Ada and Ruby. He was suprisingly good. When Ruby said that she'd shoot her own father, I was shocked. I could never shoot somebody in my family, no matter what they put me through. But, whatever she wants I guess. Oh, Ruby's father told how he cut a rattler off a rattle snake for extra tuning in his fiddle. Weird.
He had to battle this for a rattler. Not worth it.
