Tough talking, quick-fisted Secret Service agent Jack Holt infiltrates a gang of counterfeiters who are flooding the market with undetectable phony bills. A shadowy criminal syndicate has kidnapped one of the government's best engravers to print the bogus currency, and Holt has been called up to destroy the operation from the inside. Posing as a dangerous criminal, Jack gains entrance to the gang's remote mountain hideout, bringing fellow agent Kay Drew along.
