Willy and Antonius switch places via time travel and each man works his own get-rich-quick scheme. Willy's payload of gold and silver is too much weight for his rocketship, so he buries them in ancient New Mexico so that he can dig them up later in the future present. Willy arrives just in time to witness an atomic bomb test wipe out his hidden location.
