Cowhands Whip Wilson (Whip Wilson), Texas (Fuzzy Knight) and Jim Bannon (Jim Bannon) are heading for a California vacation when Jim gets a letter from his brother, Bob (Kenne Duncan), saying he has struck gold on his property and wants Whip, Texas and Jim to help him work the claim. Bob makes the error of boasting of his gold strike to express agent Waller (I. Stanford Jolley) and he and town banker Jensen (Bill Kennedy) make arrangements for Waller’s nephew Mert Jensen (Marshall Reed) and Waller’s two sons, Clint (Lee Roberts) and Jess (Riley Hill) to hold up the stage carrying Bob’s gold. Waller kills Bob while searching his house for a map of the gold strike site. The trio arrive and discover Bob’s body and meet his daughter Carol (Phyllis Coates). Jensen refuses to extend the note he holds on the ranch, so Whip and Jim decide to auction off the ranch, reasoning that the highest bidder will probably be the men behind the robbery and killing.
