Curly and Pete drive the mares to the summer range, with Trigger. To bunk for the night, they head for the ghost town where their old pal the hermit, prospector Dan, lives. It is a ghost town no more. Gold mine stock has revived the town, to Dan's delight. Curly and Pete smell a rat: the stock company is run by swindlers who salted the mines. In an attempt to get Curly and Pete's mares, the swindlers frame Curly and Pete, who escape town with their herd, and find real gold in the dried-out wash along the way to the summer range.
