When evidence in separate incidents ties fugitives Cole and Burke to the Republic of Solera, Corrigan assumes the identify of Burke to investigate. In Solera, Corrigan discovers that, instead of a refuge for fugitives, it is actually a slave labor camp for mining gold run by Adrienne Widdoe. She uses the money conned out of guys on the run to finance the operation and forces them to work in her mines with the aide of Drumm, the local police captain. Widdoe's rejections of Drumm's affections leads to an opening for Corrigan to escape and break up the operation.
