Feeling that they have been bandied roughly by Wild West, they go over to Wild West's camp to get satisfaction, but they get a good trouncing instead. The old miner overhears the bad men plotting to shoot up the camp of Wild West that night and he hurries to the camp and informs the party, who thank him. The bad men sneak over to Wild West's camp and getting above it, start a fusillade, which is returned with interest by Wild's party. The next morning Wild leaves for the nearby town. On crossing a dried-up stream Wild discovers gold. They quickly dismount, put up their tents again and start to wash out the gold. One of the bad men passing, sees Wild West's lucky strike and hurries back to the camp. The leader of the gang has a plan to get the gold and hurries back to town. They hire a few loafers out of the barroom to go back and help them overcome Wild West and his party. They start for the party's camp.

The party washing the gold see them coming, and knowing their inability to light the larger force, they run to the old miner's cabin for shelter, and are just in time for the bad men to come up and open fire at them. Suddenly those in the cabin stop firing, for they spy the sheriff and his men, led by Young Wild West. The bad men rush toward the cabin, and are caught between two fires.
