Desert Rose of the Desert West: Doane's Water Test
Deputy sheriff Jim Doane pursues rustlers across the desert after a train holdup. Stranded with a poisoned horse and a dwindling canteen, he fights thirst, wanders toward the Sierra Nueva, and collapses near Sand Wells. Rescuers trace his trail, while a mixed group, led by Pedro Salvador and a bold young woman, plots to cover the pursuit. Doane awakens to a hospital room and his thirst for water returns.
