The range is stricken with drought.
Popular legend says that somewhere, close at hand, there is a lost river, but no one has ever found it except three gunmen who keep it a closely guarded secret.
Champion, however, senses the presence of the water and starts to nose it out under the guns of the crooks. Ricky finds Champion with a bullet wound, and the hunt is on.
