Government Department of Justice sends agent Tim Hayes to Topee to capture a gang of counterfeiters, who have kidnapped government engraver Pat Doyle to force him to knock off some counterfeit 20's and 50's for their personal collection. Doyle's daughter, Joan, comes to town posing as a Spanish dancer and, believing Tim to be one of the gang, plays up to him.
