Gene tracks train robbers into the desert and a dead-end. He finds Beth seeking her prospector uncle Lonesome. Bandits wound Gene and steal Champ; Beth nurses him. They follow her uncle's burro, survive a sandstorm, and find water. At Lonesome's cabin, they find a corpse and bury it. Lonesome returns and explains it was a badman he killed before. Wounded, he went for a doc. He struck uranium, and will sell the claim and retire. He leads Gene to the hide-out over the cliff, and Gene heads down. Lonesome saves Gene in the nick of time. Gene muses if not for Beth he'd not have closed the case.
