Simon Lute (Marshal Thompson), a Florida swamp guide, is hired by James Lister (Willard Parker), who, unknown by Simon, is a double-crossing bank robber with the money he wants to hide in the swamp. Later, three of his gang members turn up and vie with the insurance agent in trying to find the spot where Lister, killed by his cohorts, has hidden the money. In the ensuing search, Simon is wounded, the robbers all die...and the money sinks into the quicksand, gone forever.
