Despite their diligent efforts, they are subjected to the surly and disdainful demeanor of saloon keeper Maxey, who exploits the girls' labor due to their familial indebtedness to him.

Unbeknownst to them, Maxey has recently perpetrated a bank robbery and concealed the stolen loot, $40,000 in stocks and gold bonds (Equal to $887,530.94 today), in the vicinity where the Stooges commence their search.

However, a series of mishaps ensue during their prospecting endeavors, culminating in a comically chaotic sequence of events involving dynamite, a burro named Yorick, and a dog.

The stolen money is duly returned to its rightful owners at the First National Bank, leaving the Stooges astonished at the unexpected turn of events.
