Roderick Warfield steps off a train in his Iowa home town and is soon handed a message from the grave about a hidden gold mine in Wyoming. Against financial wolves and rival claimants he goes west, meets the rancher Jim Rankin and a philosopher in the mountains, and finds love, politics and the 1906 earthquake on the way.
