Errol Flynn and his two buddies, "Moose" (Alan Hale) and "Marblehead", (Guinn "Big Boy" Williams) escape from the hell of a Confederate prison near the end of the Civil War. Once free, they inform the Union Army of a Southern plan that they had heard about that involves bringing millions of dollars in gold from Virginia City, Nevada to the needy Union troops. They are quickly dispatched out west to find out more and stop the "Copperheads".
In the stagecoach ride out west, Flynn meets and falls in love with Miss Hayne (Miriam Hopkins). Miss Hayne is a spy for the South posing as a dance hall girl in Virginia City. She is in cahoots with Union Captain Vance Irby (Randolph Scott) in planning and carrying out the transportation of the gold from the West. Also involved is a Mexican bandit played by Humphrey Bogart.
