Watt & Company. When Bud Hooker offered to buy a sandwich for a shabby little man whom he assumed was the town bum, he had no idea the man was Henry Kruger, who had just sold a mine for fifty thousand dollars cash and had more besides. Thinking he may have offended the wealthy man, Hooker decided to find Kruger and apologize. Kruger invited Bud to join him in a secret business venture that would require Bud to go to Mexico, since Kruger would be too easily recognized there. Lured by the prospect of great riches, Phil talked Bud into the venture. Kruger went over maps with them, telling them to memorize all the details, then destroying the papers. Confident that they will be able to meet whatever challenges come their way, the two friends set out the next day. But this venture will have more dangers than they expect.
