The Range Busters are tasked as deputy marshals with locating gold stolen from Denver, they end up searching Bottleneck, a dilapidated ghost town, but the abandoned settlement has its share of residents living below the radar.Nancy Nordick and her 'old codger' father own abandoned former goldmines and have faith they'll eventually strike the mother lode. Two other vicious killers are skulking around the decrepit town. "The Gunman" and "The Jingler" One of these has no compunction about murdering his own sidekicks and trying to frighten the Nordicks by impersonating ghostly spirits. When the Range Busters' investigation seems to hit a dead end, Alibi gets the idea to "salt" the gold mines with gold taken from the stolen gold bars they've found hidden, and before long the forgotten ghost town's population seemingly increases a hundredfold.
