A good story skillfully told shows what happens when the only surviving participant in an old train robbery lets out the secret of the cache. Naive Joe Mundy, the old robber's cell mate, is made the fall guy as he hears of the way to the gold just as the robber dies and as he is released from jail. Joe's bumbling way leads to the satisfying solution of his own problems as well, and his unique adventures make this book stand out from standard brand westerns.
