Lumsden Hare plays Angus MacTavish, an elderly miner from Scotland, complete with kilts and bagpipe, lives in an old mystery mine. Everyone in the area is aware that a gold mine is supposed to be in the area, but even with widely available maps that purport to pinpoint the location it has not been found. The Scotchman is believed to be a ghost, and the mine haunted. Two tenderfoot prospectors, Travis (Lee Rogers) and Gage (Henry Rowland) are found fighting by Lt. Rip Masters, Sgt. O'Hara, Rusty, and Rin Tin Tin. Rin Tin Tin breaks up their fight. The prospectors and the soldiers camp for the night to the sound of a distant bagpipe playing on a windy night. The sound wakes Rusty, Rin Tin Tin, and the two prospectors. Rusty and Rin Tin Tin leave without notifying anyone in the dead of night to follow the bagpipe music. Not knowing that anyone else has left the camp site the two prospectors also leave to look for the mine. Rusty finds Angus and they become instate friends as he shows the lad and his dog the interior of the mine. He makes plans to share the mine's wealth with Rusty. In the meanwhile the two prospectors lay dynamite to blow up the mine to get at the gold, not realizing that anyone is in the mine, which to them seems inaccessible any other way. As the lieutenant and the sergeant wring their hands, they and the prospectors are unable to get at the lit fuse and the mountain blows apart, huge boulders cascade down the mountainside, completely sealing the entrance. It seems like a tragic end to Rusty and his canine friend. The soldiers and the prospectors have no idea that the old Scotchman, not really a ghost, is also still in the mine.
