Old Bob Ford comes into town pursued by bandits who are after his treasure map. He holes up at an inn where he hides the map in front of Tommy, a young boy. Ford then commissions suave wagon master Juan Chasquito (Gilbert Roland) to guide him to Sierra Blanca but Ford is killed before he can start the journey. Outlaws set the inn on fire but Tommy retrieves the map and gives it to a young priest, Father Pat Jordan (Richard Harrison) who wants to get Ford's treasure back since it was stolen from his monastery. So Jordan teams up with the shady Chasquito and the hunt for the treasure is on.
