A tale of the Red Butte Western with desperate outlaws, a cowardly superintendent who faces a tough task, a fond lover and a beautiful girl, wrecks and gunplay set in a railroad world of chaos and danger.
Lidgerwood, rising as a railroad supervisor, confronts a wave of theft as copper wire and telephones vanish from the storeroom. McClosker suspects Hallock, but Lidgerwood urges restraint and investigates motive, hinting at deeper espionage and a brewing conflict aboard the line.
Lidgerwood and allies probe Flemister amid reports of a track spur at Silver Swlech, sawed bridge members, and new lumber in the Wire Silver yard. A power house, a steam plant, and armed men at the back door raise tension as crew tensions and a looming dismissal test loyalties.
A fragmented literary portrait sketches Arton Raeford once a Tennessee illicit whisky distiller and later an informer. He is described as a fearsome figure in the Cumberland region, with a past as a claim jumper, cattle rustler, telegraph operator colluding with a train gang, and a feared gaming hall guard. Angels acknowledge his citizenship reluctantly as Lidgerwood faces his fierce enmity.
