Storyline: It is 1892 in Death Valley and the yields from the Borax ore are getting so small that refining it is a losing proposition.

Roper knows the value of the strike could be worth millions, but he needs Bill to find the prospectors' claim so they can record it and become rich partners. While Roper has no intention of cutting Bill in on the millions, he also has his eye on young Jean.
