The crew of the Serenity, in economic distress, takes a job from a cruel gent named Adlai Niska to rob a train. Mal doesn't ask the particulars, which Niska appreciates.
However, when Mal and Zoë board the train posing as regular passengers, they discover their first wrinkle: Alliance guards. Mal is thrilled at the notion of stealing something from under the Alliance's nose; Zoë's a bit more worried. Regardless, they successfully pull off the heist.
Before they leave the planet, however, they learn that what they stole are medical supplies that are desperately needed by struggling colonists on this world. After Inara helps liberate Mal and Zoë from custody — all the robbed train's passengers are being held — Mal decides (over Jayne's objections) to give back the supplies to those who need them.
The good deed done, Mal sends Niska's thugs back to him empty-handed.
