He manages an escape by taking his pony over a fifty-foot drop into the Colorado River, while keeping a sheriff from being scalped. Hired on as a deputy, Judd helps a young half-white, half-Indian woman with her younger brother and sister, is framed for payroll hijacking, and while trying to clear his name, discovers Bowie's lost cache of thirty-three mule loads of silver... only to lose it again.
