To deal with his troubles, Milton decides to get away and travel as far as he can get from his woes. Arriving out West, he looks into investing money into a mine. It’s a good deal, until a corpse shows up. Will it wreck Milton’s plan, or be the ticket to a new identity, and a new life?
Things go wrong when the mine owner and his wife take advantage of the stranger, now known as Jacobs, and a blackmail scheme is hatched. Matters get worse when the real Jacobs turns out to be a robber, murderer, and wanted by the cops.
Can Milton explain? Will he resort to murder to get away again? He has to return home and face his wife, his boss, and the consequences of his actions. Instead, the Whistler holds a few plot twists designed to bring a positive ending for Milton.
