The mine payroll has been delivered at Plain Poole's train depot, and station attendants Shemp and Andy must sit on it overnight. There've been a lot of robberies in the area, and the boys' imaginations and paranoia run wild with every strange noise and bump in the night. Mistaking a couple local hunters (and the Sheriff) as the crooks, Andy and Shemp lead them on a car chase to the mine office, and inadvertantly deliver the payroll to the real robbers.
The chase sequence, which takes up a few minutes of the short's running time, is stock footage from an earlier Andy Clyde comedy, OLD SAWBONES (1935).
