Gold shipments from the Davis Mine are repeatedly hijacked by a gang led by Gorman. Despite the sheriff’s efforts, the gang’s desert hideout remains undiscovered.
Lawman Kirk Baxter is assigned to investigate. His sweetheart, Betty Stonewell, is the stepdaughter of Carson, the mine superintendent, who is secretly working with Gorman by alerting the gang to shipment schedules. When Kirk witnesses Carson mistreating Betty, he intervenes and arranges for her to leave town. However, her stagecoach is ambushed, and she is kidnapped by the gang.
Tracking the outlaws, Kirk infiltrates their hideout and initially deceives Gorman into believing he is a recruit. However, his identity is soon exposed, and he is imprisoned with other kidnapped laborers forced to work in a silver mine. Meanwhile, Gorman prepares to rob another gold shipment.
Kirk escapes, frees the captives, including Betty, and arrives just in time to stop the heist. In the chaos, Gorman kills Carson, believing he betrayed him. As the sheriff and his posse arrive, Kirk chases down Gorman and captures him, bringing an end to the gang’s crimes. [2]
