While surveying the route for the first telephone line intended to link remote ranches with the Diablo phone company spot a burning ranch house and arrive at the neighboring homestead in time to drive off the attack. Annie discovers that a crooked businessman has convinced the Indians to burn out the small ranchers so he can buy their land for next to nothing and turn a huge profit reselling the acreage when the Indian troubles suddenly cease.
