The story follows the legendary frontiersman Wild Bill Hickok and his encounters with a gang of criminals led by a nefarious character named Captain Lawless, who is scheming to defraud a tenderfoot who is interested in purchasing the dubious Forty Thieves Mine. The opening of the book introduces Wild Bill and his Indian companion, Crawling Bear, as they investigate mysterious rifle shots in a desolate canyon. They soon discover a group of men engaging in illegal activity within the mine, specifically salting it with gold to deceive prospective buyers. The tension escalates when Wild Bill realizes he has stumbled upon a significant criminal plot, leading to a confrontation where he is ultimately captured by the gang, putting him in dire danger and setting the stage for an exciting adventure.
