Summary

In the scorching desert, Bob Hill and Thad Grove, two rugged prospectors, stumble upon a diminutive, enigmatic figure - a small child, Marta, in the cabin of the notorious bandit, Sonora Jack. As they vainly attempt to locate her parents, Marta blossoms into womanhood under their care. Her nascent romance with Hugh Edwards, a fugitive from justice, is fraught with peril. Edwards' fortuitous encounter with Natachee, an erudite Indian, sets him on the path to discovering the fabled 'mine with the iron door', a hidden treasure trove of gold. However, their felicity is short-lived as Sonora Jack returns, kidnapping Marta and offering her in exchange for the mine's location. A high-stakes showdown ensues, culminating in Edwards' exoneration and his union with Marta.

Synopsis

Bob Hill and Thad Grove, two prospectors, find a small child in the desert cabin of bandit Sonora Jack. The little girl, Marta, who has been kidnapped by Jack, is taken by the men, who vainly attempt to find her parents. Marta grows to womanhood and falls in love with Hugh Edwards, a young fugitive from justice. Edwards saves Natachee, an educated Indian, from the depredations of a bandit gang, and in return the grateful Indian shows Edwards the location of the "mine with the iron door," a hidden and extremely rich gold mine. Sonora Jack returns and kidnaps Marta, offering to exchange her for knowledge of the location of the "mine with the iron door." Edwards and Natachee go after the bandit and kill him while saving Marta. Edwards is proved to be innocent of the charge of embezzlement placed against him, and he and Marta are married.
