Polygamist researcher and author Ogden Kraut goes into the Singer-Swapp compound during a standoff with law-enforcement officers. Kraut is chosen because he is respected by both the Singer-Swapps and by law enforcement. Addam Swapp tells Kraut he had received a revelation that John Singer was going to be resurrected and that the setting in order of the Church, state, and nation would begin at the Singer farm. He says that a confrontation with the law is inevitable, and that there would be some bloodshed. Three days later Officer Fred House is killed during a siege which ends the standoff.
