Norman Erickson helps after a flood in Madrid Bay. Delong and Sue Stocking assist amid rising water as townsfolk react to the river disaster. Norman learns his father dies and confronts the tragedy while caring for others.
In a muggy Saturday, Madrid villagers rush as Delong dam may have failed. Amos Short alerts via the Bay switchboard and onlookers gather on the bridge while old Gustaf Wrickson questions the threat and residents fear for Miss Jennie Price and others nearby.
