Bill Jenks and his wife secretly violate the law by selling whiskey to the Indians. Joe Elk, one of Bill's spies and accomplices, warns him that the marshal's posse is on its way to arrest him, and Bill escapes, after hiding the liquor in a cave. Goldtooth divides the posse, and they trail Bill. The whiskey smuggler and Goldtooth meet, and a fierce fight ensues, in which the former knocks out his rival's gold tooth. Three months later, Bill is joined by two other outlaws on the Texas-Oklahoma frontier. They plot to hold up the government paymaster on his quarterly trip to the Indian reservation. Their scheme leaks out, however, and the marshal surprises Bill and his gang. Bill is mortally wounded by Goldtooth, creeping home to his deserted cabin to die.
