Bagarre et coup de feu. L'homme se révèle être Wabi, un demi-sang indien qui est un ami d’enfance. Les deux compères s'enfuient en se jetant du pont ferroviaire dans le fleuve. Ils trouveront entre-temps la cabane où mourut l'infortuné John Ball et le plan de sa mine d’or. La tâche de Rod s'annonce désormais périlleuse car Wabi est maintenant recherché pour meurtre et il est lui-même considéré comme un probable complice. Ils vont devoir échapper, à la fois, aux brigands voleurs d'or menés par Jules LaRocque et à la Police montée qui les recherchent.
