A prospector goes into business with his friend, offering him a stake in a lucrative, hidden mine in return for funding the operation. A criminal finds out about their plans and tries to take the land by force, but a mysterious female sharpshooter comes to the duo's aid. Western, starring John Calvert, Ralph Morgan and Ann Cornell.

Magician-turned-actor John Calvert, previously the suave leading man of Film Classics' "Falcon" series, is a curious choice to star in the rough-and-tumble western Gold Fever. John Bonar (Calvert) and grizzled old prospector Nugget Jack (Ralph Morgan) strike it rich, whereupon they are besieged by Bill Johnson's (Gene Roth) outlaw gang. Heavily outnumbered, our heroes are forced to rely on brain rather than brawn.
