The stagecoach axle had broken, and the road was washed out by
a landside. It was the travelers' luck to find warm shelter in
an isolated sod shanty on the mountainside while rain teemed down
and thunder crashed around them. But Lew Judd is nervous as he
plays cards with a fellow traveler, the stage driver, and two
of the three men who were in the cabin when they arrived. A quiet
man in rough company, Judd is an Easterner headed for a new life
in Santa Fe with his lovely yound niece, Nelly. He worries about
her safety — and about the hidden money belt that holds his life's
savings.
