 Escaped convict Jim Curtis (Bob Steele), determined to prove his innocence, heads for Gold Creek, with his friend Snicker Kimble (Perry Murdock), hunting the man for whose crime Jim was jailed. They enter the town disguised as a traveling vaudeville act (with Jim wearing the worse hat even seen in a western film.) With the aid of his friend, and Mary Jackson (Barbara Luddy) Jim proves that a man named Stanton (Walter Shumway) is really the gambler Arnold for whom he is hunting.
