When a massive blast in the Elkhorn mine reveals a fortune in pure gold, young Clark Henderson discovers the strike lies on his inherited property—the very mine his father died trying to work. But ruthless mine baron Hard Sturdivant, who ruined Henderson's father years before, holds the mortgages and will own the Summit mine in thirty days. Racing against time and Sturdivant's hired gunmen, Clark must reopen his father's abandoned shaft and reach the gold before the foreclosure deadline. In the depths of Globe Mountain, one final confrontation will determine whether justice or greed claims the richest strike in Colorado.
