For Arlo Wells and Dallas Holt if they did not have bad luck they would not have any luck at all. They are ex-cowpunchers looking for the goose who layed the golden egg. They deliver a wagon load of whiskey to the owner of a saloon, but he dies before he pays them, so they take over the saloon for payment, but it burns down after a bar brawl.
An old friend sends them half a map to a gold mine bonanza and asks them to share it with his nieces. However the girls miserable stepfather has the other half of the map and the girls and he doesn't want to share. The bad luck just continues all the way to the end.
