Tracy and Sam are on the way to question and if necessary arrest Angus, after hearing Clarks confession.
Angus has seen the morning paper, and is out riding his horse, Sparkplug, while he tries to figure a way out of the mess he is in. Talking it through with the horse helps him to think, and helps him to keep his cool. He realizes he has been out and about for longer than he thought and that Sparkplug is getting thirsty, seeing the radio tower he decides to ride over and ask if he can get something to water his horse.
He meets Montana Joe, who says that sure he can help and tells him to come inside.
They enter the building just as “The Sounds of Plenty” get ready to start. Carl sees them walk in and says, over the air. “And here’s Montana Joe and a friend?”Montana Joe says, "Yes, Carl it’s our good neighbor Tabby Angus! " Tabby realizes that his location has just been broadcast over the radio. He does what any wanted criminal would do in that situation, he freaks, striking Montana Joe and presumably Carl, knocking them both out. Gertie and Sparkle scream, and Angus tells them to be quiet. He is unaware that the mic is still on. At this time all Angus can think about is escaping from the radio station as fast as possible. He pulls his gun and tells Gertie to give him the keys to the truck he saw outside.He discovers that the truck is Montana Joes and that they don’t have the keys. He then decides to take their car and use them as hostages if needs be. Just then Tracy arrives and they have their fist fight.
Meanwhile, Montana Joe has come to and slipped out the back door (the same one he and Angus came in) he walked around the building and approached his truck from the passenger side opening the door and getting his gun from the rack. About this time Tabby walks out the front door, but doesn’t see Montana because he is on the drivers side of the truck. Angus has retrieved his gun, but doesn’t think he can get away on Sparkplug with two armed cops just behind him, he notices the ladder and decides to climb up high, figuring Tracy and Sam won’t expect him to be up there.
Montana thinks about sneaking up behind him and hitting him over the head with the rifle butt, but then notices he is holding a gun. He decides to get his ammo from the glove-box instead, and loads his rifle while Angus climbs the ladder.
Rifle loaded, he takes a bead on Angus, and gets ready to tell him to drop the gun and come down. At the same time Tracy and Sam come running out of the station. Montana decides he doesn’t have time to warn them of Angus just above their heads, so he fires and kills Angus.
Here is my understanding of what has happened.

Angus falls, and that is the end of the story.
Does it make any more sense now?
