After the head gates were opened a few days before the announced time at the
brand new Valley View Reservoir, Illustrated Press editor Steve Wilson
becomes suspicious. The paper had questioned the project in the first place
(too costly and unsafe) and now their fears have been confirmed. After the
water is flowing, the rain starts and the reservoir seems quite unsafe.
Then, the city inspector who also had questioned the project disappears.
The missing official is found, but is then attacked by thugs representing
the Atlas Construction Company who had built the dam. He dies, but not
before he spills the beans on the fraud perpetrated by the Company.
