Publisher's Synopsis
When Jeff Alroyd rides into a divided valley, he discovers that the Circle C Ranch, owned by Babs Kemp and her father, is under threat because adjoining landowner 'Poker' Barrow has sabotaged their stream. Jeff Alroyd is determined to help Babs by using his expertise as a mining engineer and poker player. Jeff outwits Barrow and regains the stolen water, but when Barrow resorts to murder and kidnapping, Jeff finds himself apparently beaten - without money, pipeline or water.
