When Rusty Dalton unearths a chest full of gold dust in the Nevada desert, the crotchety prospector must find a way to safely get this treasure to the Wells Fargo Office in Rhyolite. With the occasional assistance of a Chinese boy named Lee, Rusty repeatedly outsmarts various thieves eager to steal the gold. The friendship between Rusty and Lee is at the heart of this appealing tale of the Old West.
