Faced with a possible catastrophe due to the wide-spread introduction of near-perfect counterfeit bills, West and Gordon attempt to track one which turned up in Denver back to its source. The trail leads first to Moore's Emporium and then to a murdered tightrope walker named Bronzini, an employee of the Colorado and South West Circus. When their best bet as to the source of the fakes, expert counterfeiter Harry Holmes, is confirmed to be dead, the agents concentrate their attention on the emporium and the circus; however, they soon begin to realize that someone in the U.S. Mint itself is involved.
