Three bandits seize a transcontinenâ€" tal bus and its passengers, and force mountainside to a lonely log shack. A raging forest fire, creeping up the mountain, threa‘~ns to trap the group. The bandits are after a secret new explosive formula believed to be in the possession of a passenger, Finley Trump, chemical magnate. One of the bandits, giving a suggestive twist to the bandana around his neck, hints that Trump may be killed unless he "comes across".

"Or travelling with Mr. Trump, with that dreadful formula or explosive or whatever it is?" she whispered. "You see, several times I saw you talking with him." Strand‘s face became grave.
