Storyline

Prospector Cimarron Dobbs stumbles on a vast cache of Spanish gold left in Texas by Santa Ana's army, and knows he will be swindled out of his discovery unless he gets help. Saloon hostess Dixie King agrees that he must secure the help of the Durango Kid, otherwise known as Steve Reynolds. Dobbs is kidnapped by a gang headed by John Munro, owner of the saloon where Dixie works. She writes Steve, and the Durango Kid and his sidekick Smiley ride out to help. Meanwhile,henchmen Rankin and Slade are vainly attempting to learn the location of the treasure from Dobbs. Steve begins to suspect that Munro is involved, and offers a $5,000 reward for information leading to Dobb's whereabouts and announces that the treasure will be divided among the needy ranchers in the area.
