The Pike gang steal $30,000 from the Adams Bank, but one of them double-crosses the rest of the gang and hides the money in Fort Dodge, Nevada. As Fort Dodge is out of his jurisdiction, Deputy sheriff Rocky Lane takes a vacation there and finds that everything is owned by Skeeter Davis, who does not know about the hidden money.
