Riding into a Nevada ghost town for shelter, Monte Hale stumbles onto a dark mystery—the abandoned settlement of Sierra was cleared out by terror, and now a grizzled prospector named Sourdough Simms reveals the truth: a ruthless gang led by Carson and Blackie has been using supernatural tricks to drive off the townspeople and claim the rich silver deposits beneath the town.
