Filmed at the Providencia Ranch (today's Forrest Lawn in Burbank, CA), this typical "Durango Kid" Western featured the Cass County Boys performing "Go West Young Lady" by Sammy Cahn and Saul Chaplin, in addition to series regular Smiley Burnette singing his own "It's My Turn" and "The Yodeler. This time, the Durango Kid (Charles Starrett) is chasing down a gang of outlaws shipping stolen gold in crates marked "ring bolts," ably assisted by Smiley, a treasury agent working undercover as a house painter. Virginia Maxey supplies female interest and little Tommy Ivo, in one of his six appearances in the Durango Kid series, also gets in the way of the action.

Steve Allison, alias Durango kid, le justicier masqué, avertit Dan parks, copropriétaire d'une société de transport, de se méfier si on lui remet des caisses marquées "pitons" pour un transport. Lorsque parks découvre ces caisses, il s'aperçoit qu'il transporte de l'or volé et en avertit son associé, Walt Morgan. Celui-ci fait partie du gang de contrebandiers et dénonce Parks comme complice auprès du shérif.
