Fain takes off his badge and goes into Mexico as a bounty hunter. He finds Muller, but before he can get back over the border, he is captured by Mexican Rurales and condemned to death.

In this second book in the Will Fain, US Marshal series, Will finds a hidden Spanish treasure on his property. He and Isum Wood, his chief deputy, search out murderers and rapists in wild Texas frontier towns like San Saba, Lampasas, Gatesville, and Comanche. They kill two murdering gamblers in Buffalo Gap, go on to the wildest of western towns, Fort Griffin, where Will's great thoroughbred stallion, Traveler, wins a stakes race, and then Will and Isum fight off a gang which wants to steal the race money.

Jedna z nejslavnějších Mayovek z prostředí Divokého západu líčí dramatickou cestu za indiánským pokladem v americkém Utahu. Ryšavec Cornel se svou zločineckou trampskou bandou míří do hor ke Stříbrnému jezeru, kde je ponořeno ohromné indiánské bohatství z dávných časů. Po stopách mu jdou Old Firehand, chlapík řečený tetka Drollová, farmář Butler s dcerou Ellen a další hrdinové, kteří s ním mají nevyřízené účty. Později se k nim přidá ještě neporazitelný zálesák Old Shatterhand s indiánským náčelníkem kmene Apačů Vinnetouem.

Žádný z rudých kmenů dosud nevykopal válečný tomahavk. Komančové a jejich náčelník "Černý mustang" si však zahrávají s ohněm – snaží se přemoci Vinnetoua a Old Shatterhanda, překazit stavbu železnice a přepadnout bělošskou osadu. Skvěle napsaný román, v němž se to hemží lumpy, padouchy, ale i chrabrými chlapy a čestnými gentlemany, vyšel v češtině poprvé v roce 1908 a od té doby stále fascinuje čtenáře v mnoha opakovaných vydáních.
