Trivia: After all the men have gone off in search of the horse, Spur is left behind at Harrison's homestead to flirt with Mrs. Bailey. He playfully chases her around the kitchen table and in so doing passes a platter of chicken. Without pausing, Spur sweeps down, grabs a chunk and takes a ravenous bite, then continues his lap around the table. As he approaches the camera on the near side, he starts to speak and a small chunk of chicken is shot from his mouth directly in to his up swinging hand. He then places his hand on the table to deposit the chunk of chicken.
Suggested correction: Spur does his chasing of Miss Bailey when he brings Jessica home. He returns when everyone leaves to find the horses. He jumps from his cart to horseback when Miss Bailey said everyone had left. Spur says someone needs to watch over the women.
