The episode begins with Wolfwood on a caravan, playing chess with a gentleman and his cat (the same cat we see throughout the series). Wolfwood is sweating profusely, unable to think of what to do next. Nearby, Milly is arguing with the bartender that she would like some pudding. Milly then walks over to Wolfwood and tells him that she, Meryl, and Vash are all aboard the caravan as well. Milly then moves one of Wolfwood's chess pieces. Wolfwood yells at Milly but is astonished when his opponent gives up - the move was brilliant.
Milly and Wolfwood then leave the bar and walk around the caravan's site. Wolfwood purchased Milly a large grocery bag's worth of pudding in appreciation for helping him win at chess. All of a sudden, a girl (who was dancing in the bar previously) bumps into Milly while running. The girl asks them to help her hide and we see a group of men chasing her. Wolfwood lets the girl hide behind him but when the men arrive, he immediately tells them where she is. The men would have gotten hold of the girl except for one thing...
One of them stepped on one of Milly's pudding containers, wasting it all. Milly takes out her gun in fury and knocks them all down with it. The girl thanks Wolfwood and Milly. But more men are on the way.
So the young girl grabs onto Milly's belly as Milly wraps her jacket around her. Milly now looks very pregnant and walks hand-in-hand with Wolfwood, like a married couple.
Meanwhile, Meryl and Vash are hanging out in a room. A group of burly men enter the room and approach Vash.
Back to Milly and Wolfwood. They arrive at a location outside the caravan's borders and a young man named Julius greets them. We find out that the dancing girl's name is Moore. Julius and Moore are very good friends. It turns out the men earlier were chasing Moore because of her relationship with Julius. Julius is the son of the mayor of Fondrique (the city the caravan is heading to). The caravan is not allowed to enter the city without Julian aboard and Julian ran away because the caravan was also an importer of women, not just normal merchandise (Moore was actually one of the women being imported).
Meanwhile, the group of burly men (including the caravan's owner) offer Vash $$20 million to find Julius.
The morals in the case are mixed: if Julius doesn't return, the caravan can't return to the city and so both the caravan and the city will likely go under. Wolfwood realizes this and tries to stop Julius/Moore from running away. He even tells them that if they move, he'll shoot himself in the head. The two kids call his bluff and leave. Milly follows them.
On the way, Milly, Julius, and Moore get ambushed by a group of violent men from the caravan. Wolfwood pops up and takes quick care of them. Then, in the horizon, an even large group looks on. Wolfwood is prepared to face them when Vash joins the fray.
Vash steps to the front of the group and removes his gun. He shoots both Julius and Moore, they fall the ground. The men from the caravan yell at Vash, he was paid to retrive the two, not kill them. Vash simply glares at them and they all flee.
Milly runs up to Vash and is very upset, she can't believe Vash killed the two. Wolfwood then goes to Vash and immediately understands that the bullets Vash used to shoot Julius and Moore were fakes. The two are still alive. Julius and Moore both head out. Vash offers them the money he was paid but they refuse, they want to rely on just themselves.
The next scene shows Vash, Milly, and Meryl aboard the caravan, heading out. Wolfwood parted ways with them, riding off on a motorcycle.
