The Monster of Hidden Valley!

The Two-Gun Kid is summoned to the town of Hidden Valley by his friend Dan Carter. When he asks for Carter to another local the man named Morgan Yancy attacks the Kid, telling him he doesn't wish to hear Carter's name. When the Kid tries to defend himself one of Yancy's minions shoots the hat off the Kid's head and asks his boss if he wants to deal with the Kid. Yancy tells his minion to stand down, and warns the Kid not to cause trouble because he runs the town. Suddenly, a local comes rushing into town telling them that the "monster" has been spotted up in the hills. The locals mount up and ride out to deal with the apparent monster, leaving the Two-Gun Kid confused as to what they could be talking about.

He meets up with his friend Dan Carter and learns that he has called for the Two-Gun Kid that someone has been stealing his cattle, and while he suspects that Morgan Yancy is responsible but has no proof. When the Kid asks him about the monster, Dan tells the Kid that the creature appeared in the outskirts of town about a month ago and had been terrorizing the locals until they built a fence around the forest where the creature lives. Suspecting that the monster has something to do with the stolen cattle and the stolen herds might be hidden near it the Kid decides to ride up and investigate the fence. There he is confronted by Yancy and the towns people, Yancy then accuses the Kid of trying to set the monster free. Suddenly the monster kicks a hole in the fence and the Kid decides to go in for a closer look to see if the monster is real or not. The Two-Gun Kid is in for the shock of his life when he looks into the hole and sees that there is indeed a monster on the other side.

While his guard is down, the Two-Gun Kid is ambushed by Morgan Yancy who draws his gun and orders the Kid to climb over the fence to face the monster alone. The Kid is faster than Yancy and manages to knock the gun out of his hand. While the two struggle with each other the monster begins ramming the fence. The Kid meanwhile subdues Yancy and demands he confesses to stealing the cattle, but Yancy continues to deny the accusations. Just then the sheriff arrives on the scene and tries to get the people to fix the fence, but the Kid stops the lawman, telling him he will deal with the problem once and for all. The Kid climbs through the hole in the fence and face off against the monster. As the creature approaches, he whistles to his horse Cyclone who comes crashing through the fence to help his master. The Kid then charges at the beast intending to rope it up with his lasso.

Tense moments later, the Two-Gun Kid emerges from behind the fence telling the locals he has something to show them. Bringing them all in he reveals the monster is nothing more than a hoax: A freakishly large buffalo that had a stitched costume placed over it and reveals that Ben's stolen cattle were hidden in the area. When the Kid accuses Morgan Yancy of masterminding the plot, Yancy cracks and draws his gun to try and shoot the Kid, but Two-Gun proves faster at the draw, shooting Yancy in the arm and forcing him to surrender. In the aftermath of the battle, the Two-Gun Kid is thanked by Ben for helping recover his stolen herd and the gunslinging hero rides off into the sunset once more with a song on his lips.
