IN BRIEF: It's 1890 and Hoppy and California are in Wheeler to see Tom Smith, vice president of the railroad. California marvels at the iron horses and says he'd like to run one. A series of mishaps are plaguing the railroad and Smith suspects Lee Garvin, who has married his daughter Jessie. Hoppy and California go undercover at the railyard to investigate. The yard boss Banks tells California to get some red signal oil. There is none, and Hoppy jokingly tells him to mix a bucket of steam with some green oil and it will turn red. Garvin is seen talking with a hobo, Ben Watts. A suspect soon emerges: Harmon Roberts, Smith's secretary, who shoots Watts. Hoppy learns that Garvin has a record, and Watts blackmailed him for money. Roberts planned to take over the railroad, and kept secret from Jessie the railroad's profitability, and also that Smith owned valuable oil land as well. Hoppy tricks a confession from Roberts by pretending he has one from his cohort, Banks. (Shirley)
