Premise[]
When Dusty yells at Scrappy, he feels he is no longer needed or loved, and runs away. He soon meets up with two "U.S. Marshalls," who are stealing silver bars off a train, and they need him to help them out.
Synopsis[]
Yabba, Scrappy and Dusty tried to get rid of a mosquito that's been bugging them. The mosquito fly's around in Dusty's new hat, and Scrappy jumps on it but missed the bug. Dusty scolds Scrappy for flattening his hat, hurting the kid's feelings. He turned on the TV when a reporter announces that a train carrying a shipment of silver will be passing Tumbleweed in the morning. Scrappy suggests that they protect the silver, in case thieves try to steal it. Dusty dismisses him saying that's a job for the Federal Martians, and sends him to bed, upsetting him more.
Meanwhile, two train robbers plan to meet their helper Shorty at twin boulders, and then rob the train.
Dusty and Yabba try to get rid of the mosquito from before, expressing how annoying it is. Scrappy overhears them and thinks they're talking about him. Feeling unloved, he decides to run away.
The robbers arrive at their destination, but, Shorty's nowhere to be seen. Without him, they can't rob the train, since he's the only one small enough to climb through the air vent. They spot Scrappy moping and decides to use him instead. They claim to be Martials sent to take back stolen silver from the train, and offer him to help, which Scrappy accepts.
Meanwhile, Yabba and Dusty discovered that Scrappy's run away because he was feeling unwanted. Dusty feels guilty about how he treated Scrappy, so he and Yabba went out to bring him home.
The robbers put a boulder on the tracks to stop the train and instruct Scrappy to take the silver. Yabba and Dusty follow the tracks looking for Scrappy and recognizes the robbers. Yabba digs a tunnel to sneak up on them but ended up in front of them instead.
The robbers tied and gagged them to a level crossing. Scrappy returned with the silver, but he did not noticed Yabba and Dusty. He leaves with the robbers, while Yabba and Dusty free themselves. The robbers no longer need Scrappy, and leave him on his own again, crying.
Yabba and Dusty spot the robbers hiding in a saloon, planning to escape across the border, and become rich.
They disguise themselves as females, waiting to catch them off guard. But, they were discovered and put in the ghost town jail.
Dusty gives Yabba chilly snacks to create smoke signals. Scrappy sees them and frees Yabba and Dusty. Scrappy apologizes for being tricked, but he's forgiven. With no time to lose, they headed off to stop the robbers.
Yabba tried lassoing them, but, ended up being pulled away. Scrappy puts a tumbleweed in the robbers' path. Thinking they can just run over it, they refuse to stop. However, the tumbleweed had an anvil hidden inside, which knocked the robbers in a billboard, trapping them. Scrappy doesn't think Yabba and Dusty would need him anymore. But Dusty says they couldn't get along without him, and Yabba agrees, saying that they're like the three musketeers.
