- In 1863 the United States government needs gold to finance its struggles with the Confederacy. President Abraham Lincoln (Albert Russell) commission's Buck Saunders (J. Farrell MacDonald), a Free Ranger (special agent of the government), to guard and guide eastward-bound wagon trains loaded with gold. "Dead men tell no tales" is the motto of bandit leader Al Wilkins (Harry Woods) and his gang attacks a gold-carrying wagon train. All are massacred except Saunders who vows to wipe out the Wilkins gang. Wilkins is caught and sentenced to be hanged. Saunders adopts Wilkins' ten-year-old son, Jackie (Buddy Cox), who grows to manhood as Jack Saunders (Bob Baker), never knowing what manner man his real father really was. Wilkins had escaped the hangman's noose, assumed the name of Jed Newman and become the ranch foreman for Beth Andrews (Lois January). He is unaware that Jack Saunders is his son. When Buck is called to Washington, Jack takes his place and put in command of the Free Rangers. In 1884 at Nugget City, Nevada, Wilkins and Rufe Lambert (Carl Stockdale) rob the Wells-Fargo office of $100,000 in gold. Jack, aided by Hank Givens (Fuzzy Knight), a plainsman, are put on their trail. The two Rangers track down Wilkins and Lambert. Wilkins, having learned that Jack is his son, double-crosses his gang and is shot. But he dies happily in his son's arms. Jack and his foster-father Buck wipe out the gang members.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
