Brief Synopsis:

An empty stagecoach prompts Gene to investigate a recent mine disaster.
 
Detailed Synopsis:
Gene Autry and Pat Buttram stop a runaway stage only to find it empty! They locate the wounded driver, who says that his one passenger, Driscoll, is missing. Driscoll shows up at the sheriff’s office, claims his luggage, and says that he knows nothing. The trail leads to Ben’s general store, where Gene catches Driscoll breaking in. He reveals to Gene that he is an undercover detective working for a Colorado mining company trying to catch a fugitive mining engineer who caused a fatal explosion. Suspicious of Ben’s explosives’ knowledge, Pat trails him and strange gunmen to a mine, where a caved in side tunnel traps him. Guided by Pat’s runaway horse, Gene tracks Pat to the mine and tries to free him. Ben, faced with letting Pat die, admits he is the missing mining engineer and sets about saving Pat’s life, using a dynamite charge. Ben claims he is innocent and, by saving Pat’s life under identical circumstances, proves it. The gunmen, who were blackmailing Ben, attack, but Gene outshoots and captures them.
