Plot
Prospectors working for a man named Temple strike a rich gold vein in a remote valley. They send one of their own, Jake, to the county recorder's office to file the official claim and secure their rights to the discovery. Ruthless claim-jumper Dana (Charles King) happens to be in the recorder's office and overhears the news of the gold strike. Dana and his gang ambush and murder Jake on the trail, then forge new deeds to fraudulently transfer ownership of the valuable mining claims to themselves. With the forged documents in hand, Dana moves to evict the rightful miners and prospectors from their diggings, using intimidation, force, and legal trickery to seize control of the gold-rich property for himself.
Jack Bruce (Jack Randall), a wandering singing cowboy, befriends the honest miners and learns of the injustice. Using his wits, gun skills, and musical interludes, Bruce works to expose Dana's crimes, recover the legitimate claims, protect the prospectors from further violence, and bring the outlaws to justice.
