Plot

After having threatened Matt Fallon, Jack Mahoney is on trial for his murder and the theft of a strong box. His attorney, Gail Kingston, looks very familiar and puts on a poor defense.

Doc Handy arrives with proof of ownership of the stolen box, but is killed before he can testify. Steve Reynolds (secretly The Durango Kid) tells of the discovery of hidden Santa Anna gold believed to be in the stolen strong box.

The Durango Kid gathers all interested parties in the court room and reveals the twisted plot thus exposing the real murderer.
