Plot
Diamond smugglers are using a herd of wild horses to smuggle diamonds into the USA from Mexico. The leader of the heard, the titular Golden Stallion, kills one of the diamond smugglers and Trigger is accused of the murder. Rather than let Trigger be destroyed, Rogers confesses to accidentally killing the man in a fight and is sentenced to several years in jail for manslaughter. A few years later, Rogers learns about the diamond smuggling and conspires with the local sheriff to capture the smugglers.
