The mime payroll has arrived at the Plain Poole's train depot, and station attendants Shemp and Andy must sit on it overnight. A lot of robberies have happened in the area, and the boys' imaginations and paranoia run wild with every strange noise and bump in the night. Mistaking a couple of local hunters and a sheriff as the crooks, Andy and Shemp lead them on a car chase to the mine office, and accidently deliver the payroll to the real robbers.
