Leaving on a trip to Kansas City to sell cattle, Big John, Victoria, and Manolito leave for the train in a buckboard. They are chased by three bandits in the desert. In the race Big John is injured when he falls from the buckboard as it hits a log. Manolito and Victoria jump leaving the bandits to chase the horses and buckboard. Manolito finds the rear part of the buckboard on two wheels which he and Victoia use to haul the unconscious Big John to a ghost town. Manolito disappears but they find him the next day where he fell through a floor and was knocked out. The three are found by a lone bearded man Sody claiming to be the sheriff of the town. He takes them to his office telling them he is awaiting the new mine owners to return with money to reopen the copper mine. That night the three bandits appear so Victoria is sent to hide but Big John and Manolito are caught by them. The sheriff believed their story about wanting to reopen the mine but soon realizes what they really are. Two of them chase Victoria with one falling down Manolito's hole and the sheriff handles the other. Meanwhile, Big John with the aid of Manolito is able to overpower the leader.
