Traveling through the mountains during a lightning storm, Dan strikes it big, finding a hidden deposit of gold; while everyone else's claims are dwindling. Taking his findings into town, he secretly puts it in the bank. But before he can make it down the street into the saloon, the whole town seems to know about his luck. Thing is, Dan isn't sure if he was lucky, as the only thing keeping him alive, is his Colt 45. Escaping the clutches of the town folks, Dan soon realizes there are times when even the gold can't help.
