An English professor, Mathematics, decides to steal a large quantity of gold with the help of Honey, a young gunslinger, Blackgrave, a former disbarred army colonel, and a young woman named Jane. With a ploy the group enters the fortified location of the gold. Honey, on his way to the crime is stopped and taken to jail, once he gets locked up in the prison, he escapes and reaches the place where the gold is kept. Then Jane and Blackgrave with a winch system load the gold onto the carriage of Mathematics, replacing the stolen gold with a few bags filled with earth. Jane mysteriously disappears and the three men try to escape with the load, but they are attacked by a group of bandits led by Sinclair, an officer of the garrison. In the struggle Jane, Honey and Sinclair die; Blackgrave in a rage before being arrested by soldiers of the fort who have appeared, kills Mathematics who had tried in vain to run away with the gold.
