Trama
Chuck Tatum è un giornalista caduto in basso che non ha smesso di cercare il colpo fortunato. Lo scoop si presenta sotto forma di un'antica caverna indiana nella quale è rimasto semisepolto Leo Mimosa. Basterà ritardare i soccorsi e il caso arriverà ben presto sulle prime pagine. Alla fine Chuck si pente, ma è troppo tardi per tutti. Infatti non si salva nessuno.
Il duro e rude Chuck Tatum, che si è fatto strada a suon di botte fino alla vetta... calpestando tutto ciò che gli capitava a tiro: uomini, donne e morale!
