Captain Frazer coming upon Phil and Helen with the old Hermit, Mason, utters a cry of surprise and rushes to the old man. Mason was Frazer's mate on the Dunsmore and had been washed ashore at Tibura. He had seen where the crew of the submarine left the gold and had carried it away to his cave when they had left. Marie and Glegg, in the meantime have put their men to work finding the entrance to the cave. Mason helps Phil and his party load the gold on horses and sees them safely off on their trip. Since they have taken Clegg's horses too, that party is forced to walk in pursuit. After traveling for several hours, Helen's horse develops a weak ankle and Helen becomes very tired and ill. Coming to a cabin Phil decides to ask for food and temporary shelter for Helen. In the cabin are a band of ruffians and desperadoes. They allow Phil and Helen to come in and help themselves to whatever they can find. The leader of the gang goes out and three others watch their chance and attack Phil and Helen from the inside. A royal battle ensues which carries them to the upper floor and out on the roof. In the meantime Clegg and Marie have sighted the cabin and found that Helen and Phil are in the hands of the enemy. Helen in fighting off an assailant almost falls from the roof, barely able to hang on to the window sill. In the meantime, the leader has loosed his bloodhounds, who take a position right under Helen waiting for her to drop. Her assailant comes out on the roof and stepping on her hands forces her to release her hold and drop to the ground. THE BIG TEN "WHAT'S NEXT?"
