Ned Harris leaves the Flower Pocket in the capable hands of Harry Redburn, the man he just met and saved from the ruffians in the bar. Harris has some business to attend to and plans to be away for some time. Harry Redburn is also charged with looking after sweet, sad-faced Anita.
Shortly thereafter, the General, Walsingham Nix, shows up at the Flower Pocket. It seems the General saw a gold mine on the property in one of his drug-induced stupors. It turns out the General was correct and he and Redburn become partners in the mining venture.
Meanwhile, Deadwood Dick is shot at close range while attempting to rob a stagecoach. The man who did the shooting was traveling with his son to the Black Hills with the very intention of killing Deadwood Dick. Fortunately, the wound to Deadwood Dick was not serious and he and his gang take the shooter and his son as prisoners. Unfortunately, the shooter and his son escape in short order with the aid of two of Deadwood Dick's less than loyal henchmen.
What of Fearless Frank and the the woman he saved from Sitting Bull, the lovely Alice Terry? Well, they entered the Black Hills and ran directly into Ned Harris. It seems that Ned Harris and Fearless Frank have had a feud simmering for some time. Fearless Frank and sweet, sad-faced Anita were at one time an item and in the view of Ned Harris, Fearless Frank disgraced the sweet, sad-faced girl. Because Ned Harris is the brother of sweet, sad-faced Anita, he has no choice but to avenge her honor.
The two men agree to a duel (yes, an 18th century duel; no random wild gunplay between these two good guys) with Alice Terry serving as the second for both men. Fearless Frank wins the duel and leaves Ned Harris for dead.
Shortly after, Fearless Frank, aka Justin Mckenzie, and Alice Terry stumble upon the Flower Pocket. So does Deadwood Dick and his gang. It seems that the hidden canyon known as the Flower Pocket was not so hidden after all.
Harry Redburn attempts to keep control of the situation. He senses something between Fearless Frank and sweet, sad-faced Anita and refuses to let Frank near her. He also allows Deadwood Dick and his gang to stay but only if they guard the mouth of the canyon.
The whole thing comes to a climax when the man who shot Deadwood Dick earlier shows up in the middle of the night with his son and captures the Masked Man with the intention of finishing what he had started. It turns out the shooter is actually the uncle of Deadwood Dick and there is some issue of an inheritance or something. The plot is thwarted by Fearless Frank and Calamity Jane who save Deadwood Dick in the nick of time.
This is where the wheels really come off. It turns out the lovely Alice Terry is the long-lost daughter of the dwarfish General. Maybe gene pools were less important in those days. The whole situation between Fearless Frank and sweet, sad-faced Anita was a big misunderstanding and they are really man and wife. And the biggest surprise of all? Deadwood Dick is revealed to be none other than Ned Harris.
