Clem the clerk conspires with a gang of outlaws to share the profits of a robbery when he gives the leader of the gang, 'Rawhide', the safe's combination.
Prior to robbing the business, Rawhide telephones the Sheriff that a rancher is being attacked by a group of cattle rustlers. Upon finding out the call is a hoax, the Sheriff and his posse return to catch the robbers in the act. A gunfight ensures with most of the outlaws escaping through a hole in the floor. Clem, the Sheriff's brother is found tied up, and nearly dies when the building catches fire in the gunfight,
Mr. Turner, the owner of the business discovers the robbery is an inside job when he finds the safe's combination on a note in Clem's handwriting. When the Sheriff refuses to pursue the outlaw gang until morning, one of the town folk, Boots, takes over as Sheriff and tie Ken, the old sheriff up.
