The film opens with a tribute to the Boy Scouts of America with footage of their first Jamboree in Washington D.C. and an appearance by Robert Baden-Powell. The scene switches to the robbery of a train carrying $1,000,000 in gold by a gang of outlaws hiding out at an abandoned mine. Tex Ritter and his two sidekicks are driven from the mine but are allowed to stay in the camp of a troop of Boy Scouts who are impressed when Tex informs them that he too was a Boy Scout and shows them his Silver Beaver Award. Tex and his sidekicks investigate the robbery, then use the Scouts to recover the gold and bring the gang to justice.
