Plot

[edit]

Blaze Howell stops what he believes is a train robbery, but it is revealed to be a welcoming joke to visitors from the East. It is discovered that during the fake robbery, a real robbery has occurred that involved the death of a guard. Howell is later accused of breaking into a safe, and discovery of his glove at the scene makes things worse for him. Aided by Smithers, Howell sets a trap and captures the real culprit.[3]
