Plot
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. The Pike gang is also in town in search of the money. When settlers arrive in town, Rocky devises a plan to catch the outlaws and retrieve the money for the bank.
