Rocky, a detective posing as an itinerant cowpoke, boards a train with his partner, Chito Rafferty. Rocky's job is to help ensure the delivery of business funds to the small cattle town of Wagon Tongue. Just before its arrival, however, the train is cleaned out by a band of masked bandits. Back in Wagon Tongue, the bank manager, Mr. Daab, frustrated by the robbery, fires Rocky. But his dismissal does not deter him from following up on the robbery.
