Mine owner William Sharon, whose gold shipments are frequently robbed by a gang of bandits, hires banker Charles Crocker, who has connections to the Central Pacific Railroad, to build a spur line from Virginia City to Carson City so that the gold can be shipped by rail. Silent Jeff Kincaid is the railroad engineer.
Rival mine owner Big Jack Davis opposes the new railway line, as he is responsible for the holdup gang. Kincaid vows to rid Carson City of the bandits, but he is framed on a murder charge. Kincaid must contend with a suspicious landslide that kills and traps some of his workers as well as a gold-bullion heist.
