The starting point of the search is the disappearance of bank clerk Victor Mellin 15 years ago, who was carrying two sacks of $ 10,000. Incognito, Johnny Ringo goes to the border town of Eagle Pass, where the origin of the counterfeit notes is suspected. While gambling, Johnny receives some fake dollar bills from the saloon owner Jackson and has to deal with his men, which earns him a prison term. There he reveals his true identity to the sheriff.

Jackson meanwhile has to deal with the young Ray Scott, who wants to escape to Mexico with the saloon singer Annie, and with a young Mexican who blackmailed him with his knowledge. He is badly wounded, but is able to flee the city. He gets him Johnny a helper against the persecutors who are trying to kill him. Both can gradually reveal the background and entanglements. In the sheriff they discover Victor Mellin, the mastermind behind the gang of scourges.
