Joe Thanks, a clever crook and con-man, convinces his two sidekicks, the half-breed Locomotive Bill and his friend Lucy, to help in organizing a fraud against the Major Cabot, for getting three hundred thousand U.S. dollars, meant as payment to the local Indian tribe. The plan, somewhat tortuous, provides first of all, gaining entrance to the fort where the payment is kept, Bill will be dressed and disguised as a colonel. The twist is the Major has decided to rip off the Indians by keeping the payment in exchange for good grazing land, and an alleged gold mine. The money is loaded on a coach which give Joe Thanks the opportunity to steal it. Despite some complications, Joe succeeds with his usual skill and the money finally rests in his hands, but he has also conned his friends as was it his intention all along to give the money to the Indians. They are all resigned to the outcome and the conclusion. For their efforts, Locomotive Bill decides to start a new life with Lucy and to live with the Indians.
