Two Transylvanians go to America in search of their brother who had emigrated there seven years back. Arriving in the small western town where they were supposed to meet, they find out that there's a reward set on him. They are suspected of complicity and sentenced to death, but a Mormon leader "saves" them and takes them in his service, humiliating them repeatedly. But the men finally find out that their brother is innocent and the real evil doer is the Mormon prophet. The three brothers will expose him and then will head back home to Transylvania, together with a beautiful American woman whom one of them married and a Negro they won at a poker game.
