A straightforward 1930s Western action-adventure about a government agent infiltrating a counterfeiting ring, built on period charm and physical comedy rather than psychological depth.

John Wyatt is a government agent sent to smash a counterfeiting operation near the Mexican border. Joining Doc Carter's medicine show they arrive in the town where Curly Joe, who once framed Carter, resides.
