In the days before the Civil War, young William F. Cody, later to become famous as Buffalo Bill, and his father are returning to Kansas from the Colorado goldfields where they have struck it rich. Their wagon train is attacked by bandits, Bill is knocked out and his father killed. When he cones to, he finds a clue to the raiders' identity - a key to Room 5 in the Swiftwater Hotel, Kansas.
