Synopsis:
Slam strikes a friendship with gold mine owner Alvardo Cortez and his daughter Rosita after rescuing Cortez from a pair of thugs. When Cortez returns to Mexico he is kidnapped. Rosita calls Slam for help. On the train to Mexico, Slam is attacked by bandits who want to kill him. Slam escapes to meet Rosita.

Shorty then sees one of the bandits that attacked Slam. He follows the man and is captured. Shorty claims to be a gangster who wants to join the gang. They test him by ordering him to kill Slam. Slam pretends to be dead, so that Shorty can infiltrate the gang. He then locates Cortez. The bandits turn on Shorty after he leads them to Cortez's gold mine. An avalanche traps them in the mine. After rescuing Cortez, Slam helps Shorty finish them off.
