Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century San Francisco Bay Area, the story revolves around a daring scheme involving 1849 ten-dollar gold coins known as the Miwok Eagles. International counterfeiter Fritz Boehmer devises a plan to steal these coins from coin evaluator Mirza Tarkanian, creating a buzz about their disappearance to inflate their value. He then aims to sell counterfeit copies, intertwining themes of deception and greed within a historical context that highlights the interactions between the Miwok Indians and the coin market.
