Old prospector Tote Todd wants to relive his youth in a rip-roaring gold-rush town. With Tote only having a month to live, his old partner suggests to a group of friends (including Greg Sanders) a re-enactment of those old days in an old Western town, to give Tote a contented ending. All goes according to plan until a gang of crooks decide there is gold to be stolen and start shooting up the town. Tote, Stuff and The Vigilante pursue them to the gold mine and they are stopped. Tote succumbs to a heart attack never knowing about his terminal illness, and is buried on Boot Hill.
