Meade Faces Crisis as Dam Flood Threatens Southwest

Bertram Meade flees disgrace after his father the engineer dies and an international bridge collapses. He works under the alias Roberts on an irrigation dam project in the southwest, while Helen Tilingworth and Rodney try to clear his name. In this installment, a cloudburst threatens the dam as Vandeventer and Meade discuss improvised defenses to hold back rising waters and save the camp, town, and railroad bridge.
