 A comic case of mistaken identity soon turns serious for the people of Sunville. It seems that old Salty Hubbard, who has a penchant for telling less-than-accurate stories, claims that Hoss and Candy are feared bank robbers Big Jake and Sid. When the two men from the Ponderosa arrive in town, everyone scurries in fear. Hoss and Candy decide to set things right by staging their own deaths. Then the real Big Jake and Sid show up for an easy bank robbery, and it is up to Hoss and Candy to catch them.
