Jacob Beamus and his good Comanche friend, John Walking Fox, are bringing a
load of buffalo pelts into Dodge. Gainer, Holtz and Banjo, three morally
bankrupt saddle tramps, try to force their way into staying at their camp
and are invited to leave. When the three see Jacob and John Walking Fox
coming into Dodge they give them some more trouble. They manage to get to
Aaron Tigue's trading store, where an argument takes place between Jacob and
Aaron over the previously promised price of the pelts, and Jacob is killed.
John Walking Fox pays Percy Crump, Dodge City's undertaker, for a funeral
and headstone for Jacob with a '49er' $50 gold piece, a rare coin minted
once by a California bank. It seems that the old coin shipment of $100,000
was lost between Pueblo, Colorado and Dodge City, Kansas in 1850. When he
then pays for a hotel room with another coin, Tigue and the saddle tramps

are convinced that the Indian knows where the rest of the coins are buried.
It turns out that John Walking Fox is the better manipulator of the bunch.
