Her adventurous spirit prompts her to get up a party for a visit to the cave, though she is warned by the padre of the mission that it will arouse the Indians, who revere the "iron ghost." Included in the party is Harris, an Eastern promoter seeking to interest her father in a railroad deal. An Indian guide takes the party to the foot of the mountain where the cave is located. The appearance of the "iron ghost" frightens the guide and he refuses to allow the party to go any further. Barbara determines to press on, but the others in the party decide to camp in the valley until the following day. Harris offers to accompany her. By sliding down ropes they succeed in reaching the cave, but the Indian guide, his superstition aroused, pulls the rope up, preventing their return. The guide then speeds to the pueblo village to arouse the Indians. How the discovery of the treasure uncovers the real character of Harris, how Barbara succeeds in escaping from his brutal clutch and later, when the campers in the valley are besieged by the enraged Indians, she saves the day for them, are the subjects told in the following scenes of this drama.
