In this Western, a lone hero named Steve Forsythe is on the hunt for a notorious outlaw named Sam Barton, who has stolen a large sum of gold. However, before Steve can catch up to Barton, the outlaw is killed by a hotel owner's henchmen and the stolen gold is hidden in an abandoned mine. The hotel owner, Ace Conley, then frames a local miner for finding a "gold strike" to distract from his plan to melt the stolen gold into nuggets and sell them in town. To carry out this plan, Conley kidnaps the town's blacksmith, Smiley, to melt the gold into its new form.
