On a rain swept mesa, Winters, Rodney, and Helen Illingworth watch three dam workers below struggle toward the fragile goal. A waterproof bag carried dynamite moves carefully as the men navigate rocks and rising water, while the onlookers fear a collapse and the fate of the dam.
Amid a flood, Meade leads a perilous blast plan to breach a hogback and drain the lake. Dynamite is set, fuses light, and a dangerous charge explodes. Though struck by a falling rock, he dies knowing the dam, railroad, bridge, and town may be saved as the water recedes.
