Rusty is going to try and teach Rinnie how to read smoke signals. A young Indian about Rusty's age tries to steal Rusty's horse, but Rusty pulls him off. The young Indian tries to fight Rusty but when Rinnie arrives, the Indian runs off. During the scuffle, a necklace breaks off the Indian's neck, a metal on it bears the Barrington crest. This interest Rusty because a few episodes back, a scoundrel attempted to pass Rusty off as the missing heir in an attempt to get his hands on Barrington money.
Mrs. Barrington is still unwilling to admit her grandson is dead. Now a ne'er- do- well relative, Stephen Barrington is going for the money. It has been seven years and now Mrs. Barrington needs an heir. Stephen needs that money as he has gambling debts. And Blackie Pierce wants to redeem his IOU's. In a week, the assignment of the estate will go through and Stephan will be able to pay the $20,000 he owes.
Rusty shows the medallion to Rip and O'Hara. Rip goes to speak with Aguanti who recognizes the medallion. He had attacked the Wagon Train and took a small baby who survived and he raised him as his to replace his son who died in sickness. Blanco may be Mrs. Barrignton's grandson. Aguanti agrees to let his son travel to the Barrington woman.
But Blanco is not behaving very well during his stay at the fort. Since O'Hara can't handle Blanco, so Rusty agrees to help. Rusty gets him to eat, but getting him in tub might be a bit harder. Mrs. Barrington arrives to see a number of trooper pursuing Blanco to try and get him in a tub for a washing.
Rusty accompanies Blanco to the Barrington estate. Blanco finally gets into proper clothing but when he arrives at dinner early, he steals all the silver. At night, he uses a rope to escape from his room. Stephen sees Rusty confront Blanco about the missing silver. Rinty found it. Now Blanco can either take it back or be a thief. Stephen grabs Blanco but Rinty pulls him down. Mrs. Barrington tells Blanco that he can't steal what's his. Blanco says the Apache was good to him so he was going to give them a gift of the silver. Maybe then he could go back, and grow to be a Chief. Mrs. Barrington tries to convince him that whit people need leaders too, just like his father was. Blanco figures Apaches could benefit from a good white chief, so he stays.
During the night, Mrs. Barrington's jewels were taken. Could Ronald (Blanco) have taken them? Blanco says he didn't take them. Those jewels were worth $100,000. Mrs. Barrington dies not believe Blanco and he is sent to his room. Blanco sees Stephen riding off and he follows. When Blanco is found missing, Rusty and Rinty take off to find him.
Rusty, Hubert the butler, and Rinty follow the trail to town. Blanco has caught up with Stephen and pulls him off his horse. Rinty is there to further halt Stephen. The butler discovers the missing jewels in Stephen's saddlebags. O'Hara and Rip come to the estate to pick up Rusty. They find Mrs. Barrington on the floor with Blanco and Rusty eating Apache food.
