Gwin, broke and idle in Mexico, eyes a striking American beauty as she passes the plaza. He learns from a wary guide about Mr. Meredith, a wealthy American mining backer, and the dream of riches glimmers then fades as reality bites.
Gwin befriends a private car owner and Miss Meredith while wheedling funds for a mine in Mexico. He flatters the plutocrat, poses as a mining expert, and wins trust, but storms of truth emerge when the experts expose the mine’s true identity as La Conchita and label Gwin a plaza miner.

It also describes luminous marbles, glowing towers, and luminous ink, plus a travelogue vignette of Japanese hospitality and food.
