A pair of young men who are unable to find work decide to turn to a life of crime and try to hold up Roy and Pat. Thinking they talked the men out of living the life of criminals, their paths cross again when they try to hold up the bank in Mineral City, then taking a friendly old couple hostage.

Roy and Pat are going past the schoolhouse when they notice the students acting rambunctiously; they go and investigate. After hearing that Mr. Everett left unexpectedly for an emergency at home, they soon discover it has to do with Everett's older brother and a recent stagecoach hold-up.
