Kid Colt then confronts them and reveals his trickery before gunning them both down. The next day the people of the valley thank Kid Colt for all his help.

Kid Colt comes to the aid of an old timer named Gus who is attacked by wolves during a rain storm, and saves his life. Seeking cover to make camp for the night, Kid Colt learns that the old man has found gold and has been followed by wolves of a different kind: a gang of outlaws led by a man named Maddox who seeks to claim the gold for himself before Gus can stake a claim. Hearing this Kid Colt agrees to make sure that Gus makes it to his destination alive.
Meanwhile not far away, Maddox and his men have been observing the battle with the wolves and have recognized Kid Colt from his shooting skills. However Maddox is undaunted and orders his men to attack the camp. During the ensuing gun battle, Gus takes a bullet and is killed. With the old man dead, Maddox and his men pull back while Kid Colt vows revenge and leaves with Gus' body. Maddox informs his men that Gus being killed doesn't matter as he likely told Kid Colt the location of his gold prospect.
The following morning after Kid Colt has buried Gus, Maddox and his men surround him and demand that he show them the way to the gold mine. The Kid then leads them on a wild goose chase, which ultimately ends when suddenly Gus -- alive and well, having faked his death as part of Kid Colt's plans -- comes out of the bush and shoots Maddox dead. With their leader gone, the rest of the gang surrenders and Gus thanks Kid Colt for his help.
