Vigilante's old nemesis The Fiddler hits upon a plan to rob concert proceeds. He debases his talent by performing 'hick' routines with his fiddle, until one night, while performing on stage, he hears one of the band saying that the proceeds of that night's performance has reached $10,000. He signals his men, planted in the audience, but just at that time Greg Saunders and Stuff come in backstage to see one of the headline acts. Changing into the Vigliante costume, he and Stuff eventually foil The Fiddler's plans yet again.
