- A cowboy comes to the aid of a lady rancher threatened by Mexican bandits who believe there is a treasure buried on her land.
- Intercepting Holt's mail, Meeker learns a gold treasure is somewhere on the Holt ranch and he sees the clue to its location. When he solves the puzzle he learns the treasure location can be found in the boots. But he earlier discarded the supposedly worthless boots and seeing Bill Williams now wearing them, he and his men go after Williams.—Maurice VanAuken <mvanauken@a1access.net>
- Mexico rebel-General Tirado gets wounded in a battle, and he has his second-in-command, Pedro, get him across the border to the ranch of his old friend, John Holt. There, he dies, but not before turning over his war chest (a saddle bag filled with gold) to Holt. The latter takes Pedro and some ranch hands, all blind-folded, out in the middle of his ranch, has them dig a hole and bury the gold. Years pass and John Holt has died, and Pedro is hanging out with Ben Meeker in Ben Meeker's saloon, and telling Meeker the whole story of the battle and the burying of the gold. Meeker has the late Holt's will and also a letter he has written to his son, George Holt and daughter, Madge Holt, tipping them off to the fact that there is a treasure buried on the Holt Ranch, but this tip is a coded message. Meeker cuts that part off of their letter before he hands it over to them. Meeker gathers up his henchmen and they head out to the Holt Ranch to see if they can find the treasure map there in a trunk. But they haul the trunk away to go through it, and then have to go back to the ranch to meet the arrival of the Holt kids, and Meeker tosses a pair of boots from the trunk over the side of a mesa ledge. Bill Williams and his sidekick, Frank Gorman, are camping there, find the boots which are better than the ones Williams is wearing, so he takes them and leaves his. Unknown to anyone, the map showing the location of the buried treasure is in the heel of one of the boots. Meeker, after applying some heat to the coded message (written using invisible ink, soon learns that but, alas, the boots are no longer where he tossed them. He throws a dance at his saloon and everybody who brings in a pair of old boots will be given a pair of new boots when they come in the door. Bill, George, Frank and Madge come to the party but Bill doesn't trade in his newly-acquired boots, and Meeker's plan to acquire the boots with the map in the heel begins to look like he has made a large investment with no return. But he sees that Big Boy has on the pair he is looking for.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
