Rocky takes an errand job with a rodeo and is quickly blamed when the show’s aging owner is murdered. The cowboys lock him in a stall to await their own rough justice, but Rocky escapes with help from an educated mule and keeps investigating. He discovers that Ringo hired a gunman to kill the old man so he could take over the financially troubled show, and the same gunman confirms the arrangement before Ringo tries to silence everyone. Rocky stops him and locates the ,000 the owner had hidden to save the rodeo.
