IN BRIEF: On their way to buy prize Hereford bulls from a bankrupt ranch, Hopalong and California venture through lonely brush country, a land of superstition. California is unenthusiastic about the trip until they find a few gold Spanish coins in the road; then he begins to dream of finding hordes of treasure. The cowboys come upon a wounded man named Melendez, who turns out to be a sheepherder for Sam Carradine. "Voice of the dead" he mutters before losing consciousness. Someone shoots at them and they hurry to the nearest town to find a doctor. Doc tells them of the legend of Don Pablo, trapped in a cave-in and wailing at night. Doc also tells them that archaeologist Tom Travers had one of the coins, but the man's sister, Linda Travers, says he's been missing for several days. Carradine, who is interested in Miss Travers, offers to help. Hoppy spots a red bearded man -- the man who shot at him and California -- at Carradine's ranch, but Carradine shoots him before they can ask him any questions. Hoppy is suspicious of Carradine and baits a trap the night of the school dance. Venturing into the hills, the cowboys find an old mine, hear the moans and find a wounded Travers. Carradine comes upon them and starts shooting, touching off a cave-in which kills him. Carradine had wanted the gold coins for himself. (Dean Owen and Swart)
