When the riverboat Paragon docks at New Biscoe, Captain Pelham is forced to send his crew’s toughest man, Jeb Rivers, into a brutal bare-knuckle fight against the town’s feared bully, Buffalo, to earn the right to unload cargo. As the dust settles, a shocking twist reveals that the shipment Judge Purtle sent is not just important—it’s a fortune in gold, and a gang of outlaws is already on the move to intercept it, dragging Marnie, the captain’s daughter, into their scheme.
In a desert house filled with strange traps and a pair of eccentric inventors, Jo and Bob find themselves caught in a bizarre scheme involving a formula for eternal life medicine—centered on stealing the heart of an American. As tensions rise between two women vying for the prize, a sudden arrival from the outside world throws the whole experiment into chaos.
