In "The Signature of Death," a desperate old miner is coerced into signing a loan under threat of violence—only to be shot moments later by the swindler who plans to use the man’s signature to claim the gold mine. When Hopalong Cassidy takes up the case, he finds the key to the crime hidden in the very mark the killer thought was his ticket to riches.
