At Prairieville's Wild West Days, Major Dennis, Danny, and Rex are asked to recreate how they captured the Pecos Gang.

On behalf of the government, Dr. Kirby, an old friend, asks for Rex's help finding a secret test satellite that fell into the Pacific. Diving with a special mask and tank, Rex saves Kirby from being wedged in a rock, and drives off a killer whale. Friendly natives explain they netted a "metal fish" and now worship it for good luck. But two thugs grab the satellite to ransom it back. Rex fakes being shot to get the drop on them. The satellite is safe, and the natives get a generous donation of motor boats.
