Sheriff Joe Cook wants his deputy to spend less time at the telephone exchange and more time attending to official business. Shorty McKay’s attachment to the operator, Belle Haynes, seems an obvious distraction until a group of bandits puts the town’s arrangements to an unexpected test.
Telephone calls, hidden jewelry and a hastily gathered posse turn the sheriff’s complaint on its head. The complete August 1925 Western mystery follows Shorty’s part in the robbery and the explanation that finally changes his superior’s opinion of Belle.
