Rex is hired by the big wig of a "frontier town" that is having its "Frontier Days." As soon as he arrives he is arrested for not having a beard, but it's a power play by the big wig who soon informs him his job is to go fetch and then baby sit Notch McConnell, an old gunman from the old west who is due to have a "shootout" with the big wig as the finale of the celebration. Notch is a hoot and a half, played by veteran character actor William Fawcett, an old boy whose main concern is that his dress boots and his stock certificates in an old played out mine don't get stolen. Notch has plans for that mine, those certificates and his boots. Notch also discovers the delights of room service and long distance phone calls, all of which the big wig is paying for. Rex is just trying to keep the old boy alive, especially when one of the big wig's boys who is part owner of the mine is murdered. It's up to Rex to track down the murderer and keep him from killing Notch during the finale shootout.
