Professor Clarence Braid, a child prodigy and anthropologist, comes to Rimrock to study western life. Little Beaver and Po-Ko take him to the Indian reservation where his ignorance of Indian ways and arrogance causes problems. In the meantime, a pair of bandits, Squeeze and Trigger, blow up the jail at Rimrock to rescue Snake-Eye, who has a map to a cache of stolen gold. The gold is buried on the reservation and the bandits cross paths with Little Beaver and his companions.
