Set during the Klondike Gold Rush in Yukon, Canada, Yosemite Sam steals gold from an old prospector named Louie. Disappointed by his small haul, Sam encounters Bugs Bunny, who undergoes an involuntary convulsing spell in the presence of gold. Sam tries to trick Bugs into a partnership, but Bugs outsmarts him. Bugs claims to find gold, Sam chases him away and dissolves the partnership. Despite this, Bugs still tries to save Sam when he realizes he's about to fall off a cliff in to a lake. Bugs later sets Sam up to dig in a spot that's in fact the back of a hidden dump truck, which he dumps off of a cliff. Angered, Sam vows revenge and chases Bugs across the United States until Bugs leads him to Fort Knox, where Sam is arrested for attempting to steal the fort's gold. Bugs suddenly finds himself challenged by another guard to explain his presence on the fort grounds, and he escapes on a passing ocean liner that appears out of nowhere.
