All acquit themselves as well rs
the limitations of the story will

The story opens as q society

quite a scene at Cynthia's

into the night without much

Derk, disguised. returns to
his mining town to forget his
wife. Cynthia follows HIM q

Cynthia must be living with

, The three Of them are down on
the fifth level when the cave-in
occurs. Here Is where De

The climax of the picture Is
q wham. There is only one
\ way to save Cynthia and one
