In a last, desperate bid to save their family farm from repossession, brothers Tom and Jeb Hope head west to California to take a chance on old mining claim. Against all odds, they find gold...but then calamity strikes. When young Jeb heads for the bank with his precious find, he is robbed and wounded. Then, when he tries to recover the gold, he is murdered in cold blood, leaving his loyal brother Tom devastated. Now Tom must follow the trail of his brother's killers and find the gold which can save his family. His search takes him from the docklands of Sacramento, through the lawless mining towns of the Sierra Nevada and on to hostile Indian territory where danger is everywhere. Does he have what it takes to survive?
