Near the end of WWII, Hook Runyon, railroad bull, and his
dog, Mixer, are sent to the West Salvage Yard in the high
desert of Arizona. Not far away is the Johnson Canyon
Tunnel. Though remote and ordinary as tunnels go, it is the
gateway to the steepest railroad grade in North America and
a potential bottleneck for the delivery of war supplies. So
vital is this tunnel to the war effort that a 24-hour
military guard has been assigned for the duration. Hook's orders are to catch copper thieves and to stay out of
sight and out of trouble. But things go awry when Hook
receives a call that one of the guards has been killed
mid-tunnel by an oncoming train. Lieutenant Allison Capron
from the Army Transportation Department is called in to help
with the investigation. At first, suicide by train is
suspected, but the evidence soon suggests homicide resulting
from a love triangle. Unable to fit his own findings into either of these
theories, Hook suspects something more sinister.
