Three con artists set up Reese to “save” them from robbers.  Don Miguel’s “dying” wish is that Reese get 10% of his estate.  The estate turns out to be the entire county which Don Carlos de Laredo and his “sister” Dona Dolores are claiming under a forged Mexican land grant.  They include Reese in order to enhance their credibility in Laredo.  While Dona Dolores charms Reese, Don Carlos arranges to have local landowners pay to keep their land.  Chad & Joe get Reese gussied up with new clothes, teach him to eat fancy food and give him fencing lessons.  When the Captain “borrows” the land grant to have it examined, Don Carlos knows the jig is up so he empties the bank vault.  The Rangers capture them all, including the “deceased” Don Miguel.
