A Columbia Picture. STORY (Not for Publication) Into California’s 1880 frontier country rides Robert Louis Stevenson, the novelist, looking for story material “in a land of stagedrivers and highwaymen.” He soon finds it when Bill Foss (William Bishop) arrives in the mining town of Silverado with a new stagecoach and is challenged to a race by Zeke Butler (Forrest Tucker), driver for the established stage-line operated by pretty Jeannie Manning (Gloria Henry). Bill is forced off the road and his best % horse injured. Doctor Henderson (Edgar Buchanan), noted for his philanthropies to the miners, advises him that he can’t run the horse for some time to come. Forced to go to work, Bill takes a job with Jeannie, hauling water to Squatters’ Flats, a desert waste which requires irrigation. When Zeke, carrying gold from Last Dog Ditch mine to Silverado, is robbed by a mysterious bandit called The Monk, he suspects % Bill. To clear himself, Bill suggests both stages take the next gold shipment, and secretly shifts cargo without Zeke’s knowledge. The Monk, however, spots the gold in the hiding place known only to Bill and Jeannie, but is wounded while making his getaway with the loot. Zeke accuses Bill of being The Monk’s confederate and Bill’s threatened lynching is prevented by Stevenson, gun in hand. Bill then discovers that Doc is The Monk. He dissuades Doc from giving himself up at once, proposing, instead, a deal whereby the mine company will irrigate the wasteland in return for The Monk’s capture. Zeke, meanwhile, sets a new trap for The Monk—a fake gold shipment. Doc has fled Silverado, leaving a confession with Bill and Jeannie. Trying to save Doc, Bill races Zeke to the locale of the trap and reaches him in time only to see a sheriff’s bullet kill Doc. Bill and Jeannie merge their interests—and Stevenson has found his story.
