Plot

[edit]

The film opens with a tribute to the Boy Scouts of America with footage of their first Jamboree in Washington, D.C., and an appearance by Robert Baden-Powell.

The scene switches to the robbery of a train carrying $1,000,000 in gold by a gang of outlaws, who hide out at an abandoned gold mine before they attempt to take the gold across the border into Mexico. Tex Ritter and his two sidekicks are warned off from the mine, but join the nearby camp of a troop of Boy Scouts who are impressed when Tex informs them that he was a Boy Scout and shows them his Silver Beaver Award. Tex and his sidekicks investigate the robbery, then, helped by the Scouts, recovers the gold and brings the gang to justice.
