The cartoon opens up with Barney Bear on the Grand Canyon with his possessed bag walking by itself. Barney check everywhere that's a good spot. Don't worry, the possessed bag is just Barney's sidekick, Benny Burro. The bag gets stuck between two limbs and Barney's irritation from the first 2 minutes. Barney then notices a few gold nuggets. 14 Carrot Gold to be exact. Get it? Hey, it's a visual gag, what would you expect? Barney sticks his head in a cave with SO MANY GOLD CARROTS! Nobody likes prospecting humor anymore? Barney gets out his pickaxe and gives him a hard time from 3:00-4:33. A new cartoon record! Benny Burro is munching on dynamite (Probably thinking they're carrots.) which makes Barney use the dynamite. It obviously backfires and Barney throws the match in the dynamite box. Where's Smokey when you need him? Wait! Smokey's a bear! Barney's a bear! What?! The box, of course, blows up in Barney's face. Benny sniffs the TNT Powdered Cocaine (ONLY 95 ¢) and Barney takes it away. Barney puts it over his shoulder and some falls in. He lights a match and the string goes in his pants causing it to explode. Barney's angry now and gets all the explosives while Benny's eaten a whole new box of dynamite. Barney kicks Benny and go inside the cave and then... the both are on a skinny cliff left.
