Sixteen-year-old Dean Dunham lives with his aunt and uncle in New York. A neighbor, Squire Bates, holds the mortgage for his uncle’s property, which his uncle hopes to pay off. Luckily, he receives a good deal of money from the sale of another plot of land. Uncle Dunham rides to town in his buggy to collect his cash. However, a partially-masked robber assaults him on his trip home, and steals one thousand dollars. Uncle Dunham recognizes the peculiar fang-like teeth of Squire Bates, but only Dean trusts his uncle’s story, as no one will believe that the seemingly affable Squire Bates could be to blame. Squire Bates calls on a confederate, Peter Kirby, to get Dean out of the way. Kirby hires Dean as a traveling secretary and tries to take his life far from home. Dean must escape to make his way back to retrieve the stolen money from Squire Bates, thereby preventing him from foreclosing on the mortgage. Less
