Six-Gun Gorilla was an ape named O’Neil who as an infant was kidnapped and brought from Africa to the United States where he was sold to a prospector named Bart Masters of Colorado. Masters was a loving owner whom the gorilla grew to love like a father. Bart Masters taught his gorilla to dig, fetch firewood, gather water, cook, clean, and most importantly, load and fire a revolver.

Unfortunately, Bart Masters was murdered by Tutt Strawhan, leader of the Strawhan Gang, in order to learn what Masters knew about "the great mother-load."  O’Neil swore revenge on his master's killers and set out armed and dangerous to kill every member of the Strawhan gang. With only his bandoleer and two six-shooters, the ape tracked down and killed the murderers one by one. However, the Six-Gun Gorilla died just as he killed his nemesis Tutt Strawhan.
