Un contadino del Michigan e un cercatore formano una partnership nel paese dell'oro della California. Le loro avventure includono l'acquisto e la condivisione di una moglie, il dirottamento di un palcoscenico, il rapimento di sei prostitute e la trasformazione del loro campo minerario in una città in espansione. Lungo la strada c'è un sacco da bere, giocare d'azzardo e cantare. Trovano persino il tempo di fare un po' di creativa estrazione dell'oro.
