Deadwood Dick, the masked robber of the Black Hills, makes a surprise visit to Alder Gulch in the Montana Territory. Famous characters, Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok, join in the mayhem of abduction, mistaken identity, and hilarity! Can anyone stop the underhanded schemes of the local hooligan Black’N Red? Based on the dime novels of the late 1800’s, On the Gold Trail with Deadwood Dick is sure to have you rootin’ and tootin’ with laughter!
