There is no gold. The mine is a scam. Undaunted, Rose is determined to make the best of things. She has money to invest and goes into business with Wilhelmina Hogg. They open a restaurant, The Wilhelmina Rose and Toby Mahoney is the odd-job-man around the place. Everything is going well, a bit too well... Then trouble arrives. The bank is robbed.
